Store listing

By Carlos Velasquez, from the App Store
Description by Carlos Velasquez Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Pause helps you scroll on purpose. Lowers your screen time.

We all reach for the same apps on autopilot. Pause puts a short, calming puzzle between you and those apps, so opening one becomes a choice, not a reflex.

HOW IT WORKS
• Choose the apps you want to pause.
• When you try to open one, Pause asks you to solve a quick puzzle first.
• Solve it, then pick how long to unlock it: 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes.
• When time's up, the pause comes back automatically.

That tiny moment of friction is enough to break the autopilot and remind you why you picked up your phone in the first place.

TEN CALMING PUZZLES

• Word Jumble
• Five Letters
• Word Search
• Memory Match
• Ball Sort
• Sliding Tile
• Maze
• Connect the Dots
• Connect the Color
• Sixdoku.

Every unlock is a small mental reset instead of a mindless tap. Seasonal themes keep things fresh, and this November brings a new Gratitude puzzle.

DESIGNED FOR INTENTION, NOT RESTRICTION
Pause never locks you out. It adds just enough space to choose. No guilt, no lectures. Just a gentle pause.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
Your Week shows how many times you walked away from scrolling and roughly how much time you got back.

START WITH 7 DAYS OF PREMIUM, FREE
• All ten puzzles, with Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty per app
• Pause as many apps as you like
• Schedules for work, bedtime or family time
• No ads
We'll remind you 2 days before your trial ends. Cancel anytime and keep a free version of Pause: 1 paused app, 3 puzzles, with ads.

Your privacy comes first. Pause uses Apple's Screen Time technology, and the apps you choose never leave your device, nor do we see the apps that you choose.

Scroll less by accident. Scroll more on purpose.
