## What is Pausa?

Pausa is a self-care app built around one small ritual: Threshold, a minute after work. Close the laptop or take off the badge, leave one line behind, breathe out. You can stop at any step. Not a coach, not a tracker that scolds you.

IT STARTS WITH YOUR ROLE

Eleven roles: IT, creative work, research and analysis, leading a team, teaching and mentoring, helping professions, service and people work, running your own business, studying, caring for someone at home, physical and shift work. Or describe your own in a few words.

Your role gets its own tab for before work, in between and after, with Threshold and a ritual of its own, like "Take off the shift" or "Exit point".

You can also mark a situation: a move, a job change, a big day, recovering from burnout, learning a language. Later the app asks whether it's over, and "yes, it's done" is always one of the answers. You can seal a letter to yourself that waits until then.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Check-ins. Say how you are right now — four sliders, or your own words. Nothing is required, nothing is graded.

Care tasks for body, feelings, mind and everyday life. A day counts if you did one, in any order, with any gaps. Nothing resets.

Journeys and programs in one library: eight journeys of seven days with Flun, and programs of a few short steps for a role or a situation. Browse by what's going on right now, or search. Some steps are interactive: a breath to follow, cards to sort, a sentence to start from.

A diary that doesn't interrogate. Questions ask what happened and how, never "why are you like this".

Support when it's hard. A separate flow for difficult moments, and crisis resources one tap away from any step of it — your country's lines where we have them, an international directory where we don't. Free, always, no account.

Reminders you set yourself: never, once, three or five times a week. That's the whole setting.

WHAT PAUSA IS NOT

Pausa is a self-care app. It is not medical care, not therapy, and not a substitute for a professional. It does not diagnose anything and does not tell you what your state is. The practices come from approaches like ACT, CBT and mindfulness — that's where the exercises are from, not a promise about what they'll do for you.

If things are very hard right now, please reach a professional or a crisis line. There's a list inside the app, and you don't need an account to open it.
