PetPause: Study Timer & Focus

Meet your new study buddy.

PetPause puts an adorable animated pet on top of your screen while you study or work — and blocks distracting apps when you need it most. Built-in cats are ready instantly. Or generate a personalized companion straight from a photo of your real pet using AI.

🐾 FLOATING PET COMPANION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A draggable pet bubble floats over every app on your phone — visible while you browse, type, or work. Tap to expand the full companion view. Tap again to minimize. Your pet animates differently during focus and break so you always know what phase you're in.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🤖 AI PET GENERATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Take a photo of your real pet — or any animal — and PetPause generates a personalized animated companion using AI. Pick from 17+ actions:

• Dancing • Waving • Sleeping • Zoomies
• Play Bow • High Five • Moonwalk • Peekaboo
• Grooming • Snack Face • Head Tilt • and more

Requires credits, available via one-time packs or subscription.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡️ STRICT FOCUS GUARD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Four escalating modes to block distractions:

OFF — companion overlay only, no blocking
SOFT — warning overlay on blocked apps, touch still passes through
GUARD — blocked apps are fully locked with a return prompt
DEEP — everything blocked except your personal allow-list

Grant Notification Listener access and PetPause also silences notification pings from blocked apps mid-session. Flip your phone face-down to start a focus session automatically.
