## What is PAUSA?

All features free. No ads. No subscription. We don’t collect your data.

Whole teams work on keeping you in your feed. And getting you back as soon as you leave. Designers, analysts, tests. It’s a full-time job.

And you’re told to “just use your phone less”. Cool, thanks.

PAUSA helps you set a boundary. Choose your apps and a duration — they stay blocked until the session ends. For a break or an early finish, scan your linked AirTag, NFC tag or QR key. A small pause before another “just checking”.

• Profiles with different app selections for work, home or evenings.
• Schedules by day of the week and time.
• A history of your sessions and time spent in focus.
• Home Screen widgets and Siri Shortcuts.
• Profiles, a timer and session controls on Apple Watch.

Use your own AirTag or a compatible NFC tag, or create a QR key in PAUSA. Scanning takes place in the app. Blocking needs Screen Time permission on iPhone. Apple Watch controls the paired iPhone.

If PAUSA helps you touch grass or pet an actual cat, we’re happy. The cats in your feed can wait.
