## What is Pause?

Feel better at your desk with short guided stretches and gentle reminders for your working day.

Choose a chair-friendly stretch, a little movement or a breathing break. Follow clear written steps and a built-in timer, then return at your own pace.

• Neck & Shoulder Reset and Hands & Wrists Break routines
• Seated and standing movement options
• Exact routine durations including preparation
• Step-by-step written guidance and video demonstrations for selected movements
• Saved breaks ready again from Home
• A local daily recommendation based on your schedule and seated preference
• Optional reminders within your working days and hours
• Breathing practices and six calming scenes

No advertising, streak pressure or employer activity sharing.

A purchase and a Pause account are required before your first guided break. Choose a monthly Pause Plus subscription or one-time lifetime access to the same Pause Plus features. There is no free trial. US prices are $4.99 per month, $19.99 once for lifetime, or $12.99 every three months. Local pricing and the full billing period appear before you confirm with Apple. Existing three-month subscriptions remain supported.

Monthly subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel renewal in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime access does not renew and does not cancel an existing Apple subscription; cancel that subscription separately if you no longer want it to renew. Restore Purchases is available for existing customers.

Bundled guidance works offline with cached verified access. Reminder settings and saved breaks stay on your iPhone. Optional anonymous usage measurement is off by default.

Pause offers general wellbeing guidance, not medical advice or treatment. Move comfortably and stop if anything hurts. These routines have not been clinically validated.

### 5/5 — Subtly the only way to escape my desk
