## What is PAUSED?

Doomscrolling until 2am... again?
You said ""just five minutes."" That was 2 hours ago.
One notification. One tap. And there goes your deep work session.
Sleep? Not when there is one more video.
The algorithm wins every single time. 

It's time to take your life back. 
PAUSED is your mindful companion designed to help you reclaim control of your time. With its minimalist Dopamine UI and intuitive features, building self-discipline has never been this rewarding.

Why Choose PAUSED?

【Master your Screen time】
- Sleep Mode: The ultimate remedy for late-night scrolling. Set your bedtime and lock distracting apps to ensure a restful night.
- Focus Mode: Designed for deep work and intense study sessions. Whitelist essential tools and block everything else to stay in the zone.
- Interval Break Method: Combat mindless scrolling scientifically. Set a 30-minute browsing limit followed by a forced 10-minute break to reset your brain.
- Work Mode: Restrict entertainment apps until you have completed your daily working goals. Turn your screen time into a reward.

【Privacy Lock and Anti-Addiction】
- Privacy Mode: Lend your phone without anxiety. Hide sensitive apps like banking or private galleries from both the home screen and App Library search.
- In-App Purchase Lock: Prevent impulsive spending on games or subscriptions. Stay in control of your digital consumption.

【The Gentle Guardrail】
- Cooling-Off Period: When you are about to give up and hit Stop, PAUSED forces a cooling-off timer. This gives you a moment to rethink and resist the temptation.
- Achievement Tracking: Every time you resist a distraction, it is recorded. Watch your 21-day self-discipline journey unfold with our companion, MOMO.

【System Integration and Aesthetics】
- Dopamine UI: A beautifully redesigned interface with smooth animations that make self-discipline feel like a treat, not a chore.
- Full iOS Integration: Seamlessly supports Live Activities, Home Screen Widgets, and Lock Screen Widgets. Monitor your focus status at a glance.

PAUSED is with you everywhere:
- At the Library: Your study shield, keeping social media out of reach.
- In Bed: Your sleep guardian, stopping revenge bedtime procrastination.
- During Socializing: Your privacy vault, keeping your personal data for your eyes only.

Our Privacy Commitment:
- Your data, your device: All data is stored locally on your device. We never upload your usage habits to the cloud. Your secrets stay yours.

You don't need to be perfectly disciplined. Just a little less screen time than yesterday is enough. PAUSED will be there — one step at a time, with MOMO by your side.

希望自控模式可以选择一天的结束时间是几点（比如可以设置凌晨2:00），否则刷手机刷到0点以后就恢复额度，又可以刷了

我用的苹果手机，我在进行学习模式的时候 可以点进系统自带的设置，然后点击屏幕使用时间，然后可以手动关闭“不做手机控”访问屏幕时间，一旦关闭访问屏幕时间，限制会自动全部解锁，我觉得是一个非常大的漏洞，我在选择限制应用的选项中无法找到“设置”，强烈建议把苹果手机系统自带的设置也加入到限制应用当中，否则手动取消之后 自控软件一点用都没有！！！！！
