## What is Forepause?

Adult digital detox. One question before you scroll.

Start Forepause Pro with a 7-day free trial. Forepause is a screen time app that puts one trivia question before the apps you choose. Answer correctly, then open for 5, 15, or 30 minutes — or read the explanation and walk away. The choice is yours.

No streaks. No leaderboards. No guilt. The only things that grow are your correct answers and the time you get back.

WHY ONE QUESTION WORKS
A short pause before opening an app is one of the few screen-time interventions backed by published evidence. Friction-design research published in PNAS in 2023 found that a brief moment of friction reduced social media use by about 57%. Forepause turns that pause into a quick chance to learn something.

WHAT YOU GET
• One trivia question before the apps you choose — it appears the moment you tap
• A short explanation that sticks, whether you got it right or wrong
• Open on purpose: after a correct answer, choose 5, 15, or 30 minutes
• Time reclaimed: see how much time you got back this week
• Your patterns: a weekday × hour heatmap of when you scroll
• Schedules: strengthen the intervention at night, morning, or any window you pick

PRIVACY
• No account required. Screen Time usage data stays on your iPhone
• No ads. No cross-app or cross-site tracking

HONEST PRICING
Core trivia is free forever. Forepause Pro unlocks more apps, more schedules, and full history with a yearly plan (7-day free trial) or a one-time purchase. We always show the current price before you buy.

Forepause is for adults who want to manage their own screen time.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.6 — 2026-09-22

Improves the path to the 7-day free trial: clearer skip-confirm CTA, post-skip value screen, onboarding permission reassurance, and Screen Time denial still reaches the paywall. Also keeps the paywall after closing the purchase sheet and avoids treating cancel as an error.

### 1.4.5 — 2026-09-20

Paywall now stays if you close the purchase sheet, and you can retry after a failed purchase. Canceling is no longer treated as an error.

### 1.4.4 — 2026-09-18

Before you skip Paywall, it now reminds you that the yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-09-17

Fixes a purchase that might not apply right away, and shows Paywall again after your first quiz or when you hit the free app limit.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-09-17

Some of the questions you see first now read more like everyday conversation.
