## What is HoldON?

Your thumb opens the app before you've decided to. HoldOn catches that automatic reach and gives you a few real seconds to choose — before the scroll starts.

HOW IT WORKS
Pick the apps and sites that pull you in most. The next time you open one, HoldOn interrupts with a brief, calm pause — then you decide: stay in control, or continue on purpose. Either way, it's logged as a real, conscious decision.

FOUR WAYS TO PAUSE
Not everyone breathes their way out of a habit loop, so HoldOn gives you a choice:
• Breathing — a guided inhale-exhale, timed to a real calming rhythm
• Reflection — a quiet moment to notice the urge before it passes
• Future Self — a message from the person you're trying to become
• Hold to Wake — press and hold for 8 uninterrupted seconds; release early and it resets

Set a different pause length and intervention for every app.

SEE IT ADD UP
Insights turns every pause into a number:
• Time Saved — an honest estimate of the time each conscious decision actually reclaimed
• Streaks — your current and longest runs of staying in control
• Weekly report — a quiet Sunday-evening summary, on by default

OUR ONE HARD RULE
You can gate the product. You can never trap the person. Every safeguard in HoldOn — even on an expired subscription — has an equally visible way out. Removing protection never deletes your history, streaks, or time saved.

HoldOn is free to try. Premium unlocks the full intervention library and Insights.
