## What is NotYet?

# Pause — Think Before You Enter

You know that moment.

You open an app without even thinking about it.

Pause adds a few seconds between the impulse and the action.

When you try to access an app you've chosen to block, Pause gives you a short moment to stop, reflect, and decide whether you really want to continue.

## A Different Kind of App Blocker

Pause isn't designed to completely control what you can access.

Instead, it creates a small moment of friction.

A countdown begins.

And as the seconds pass, the message changes.

**10 seconds**

"Wait a second."

**7 seconds**

"Do you really need to open this?"

**5 seconds**

"What were you hoping to find here?"

**3 seconds**

"Will this help with what you planned today?"

**1 second**

"Your choice."

Then you can decide whether to continue.

## Make Your Pause Personal

Choose the style that fits you.

• Calm
• Motivational
• Funny
• Direct

With Pause Pro, create your own messages and build a countdown that speaks directly to you.

For example:

"Why did I block Instagram?"

↓

"I wanted to finish my work."

↓

"Is this really important?"

↓

"Think before entering."

↓

"Your choice."
