## What is Pausean?

Turn your phone over. The time is yours.

Pausean is a focus timer that starts when you put your phone down. Set your minutes on the dial, lay your phone face down, and your time begins. Every quiet stretch becomes a stone in your bowl.

A GENTLE START
- Tap once to get ready, then turn your phone over. Your time starts the moment it lies face down.
- In the first seconds you feel three slow breaths as soft vibrations. No need to look.
- The dial clicks into place minute by minute and shows which stone you will receive.

NO PRESSURE, NO GUILT
- Picking your phone up briefly is fine. Your time keeps running for 60 seconds.
- Jokers let you pause a session when something comes up.
- No streaks, no red days. An empty day simply stays empty.

YOUR BOWL
- Each duration forms its own kind of stone.
- Each month gets its own bowl. With Pro, past bowls stay on your shelf.
- Older stones gather dust over time. Rub them with your finger and they shine again.
- Press and hold a stone to see what you can do with it.

BREATHE
- Guided breathing has its own tab. Arriving and Letting go are free for everyone.
- Every exercise leaves a piece of sea glass in your bowl.
- Feel the breath (Pro): soft vibrations guide you, so you can close your eyes.

AUTUMN STONES
Until November 29, every session forms one of four autumn stones: chestnut, leaf print, pumpkin stone and honey stone. The pumpkin stone is free for everyone this season.

SHARE YOUR CALM
Share a session, a single stone, your week or your month as a quiet image.
