## What is Pause Buddy?

Description
When anxiety spikes, it’s hard to think. Pause Buddy helps you shift attention back to your body and surroundings with simple, guided grounding—fast.
One tap to start
Hit the “I’m spiraling” button and choose a mode that fits the moment:
Ultra-Fast (~30s): quick sensory prompts to interrupt spiraling
One Object (1–2 min): therapist-style grounding through the five senses
5–4–3–2–1 (2–3 min): the classic checklist grounding exercise
Gentle guidance (with voice, if you want)
Prompts can be spoken out loud
Tap through with Skip / Next (no typing required)
Simple, calming pacing—no “levels,” no gamification
Rate before & after (optional)
If it helps, quickly rate intensity 1–10 before and after. Pause Buddy saves a lightweight history so you can see what works over time.
Safety & comfort settings
Make it fit you:
Disable taste and/or smell steps
Choose gentle vs directive language
Voice settings (speed/voice) and minimal UI options
Private by design
No ads
No third-party tracking
No analytics creepiness
Free to use for the first 10 sessions. After that, unlock unlimited sessions with a monthly or yearly subscription.
Note: Pause Buddy is a self-guided grounding tool and is not a substitute for professional care. If you feel unsafe or in danger, contact local emergency services.
