Can't stop scrolling? DinoPaw has you.
DinoPaw steps in on the sites you choose, starts a timer, and when time's up — a full-screen viral clip takes over. Same idea as gentle gatekeeper extensions you might know, with our spin: that endlessly watchable French bulldog in a dinosaur body. You laugh, you breathe, you get back to real life.
Break clip credit: @frenchtotoast on Instagram — the creator behind the Frenchie everyone recognizes in a T-Rex suit.
Built by the team behind Pawwhere.sg. Not affiliated with other break extensions — just the same idea, our Singapore pet-loving spin.

How it works
Three steps — same rhythm as apps like Cat Gatekeeper, but the punchline is pure internet dog chaos.
- 01
Choose your rabbit holes
Toggle Instagram, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, X, and Bluesky — DinoPaw only steps in where you say so.
- 02
Set the timer
Decide how long you browse before the break kicks in, and how long the clip stays on screen. Switching tabs can reset the clock — so stay honest.
- 03
Let the dino-dog win
When the timer fires, the feed goes away and the Frenchie-in-a-T-Rex moment fills the window until you’re done. Dismiss anytime from the extension menu if you really need out.
