Store listing

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.
