About
Pull a card. Try one thing. 50 short, active exercises for anxious or spiraling moments, with 10 free.
No account, no ads, no tracking. One optional purchase, no subscription.
PauseDeck is a deck of short coping exercises you can do right where you are. Pull a card, try the one thing on it, and move on when you're ready. There's nothing to set up and nothing to keep up with.
WHAT'S IN THE DECK
• Breathing pacers: long-exhale breaths, box breathing, the physiological sigh, and straw breathing, each with a visual guide and optional haptic pacing on iPhone
• Senses and body: 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, a color hunt, cold water, wall pushes, and a two-minute touch anchor
• Thoughts: label a thought, set worries on leaves floating down a stream, or write a quick brain dump you can dissolve when you’re done
• Short, steadying reminders you can say out loud
FREE AND FULL ACCESS
10 cards are free forever, including a long-exhale breathing pacer, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, and thought labeling. Full Access is a one-time purchase that adds the other 40 cards, including box breathing, leaves on a stream, the color hunt, and the touch anchor, plus saving the cards that help you.
DESIGNED FOR HARD MOMENTS
• One card at a time, so there's no menu to scroll through when your mind is racing
• Swipe for another card, or swipe down to close
• Optional haptic pacing on iPhone, so you can follow along with your eyes closed
• Can keep the screen awake during timed exercises
• Supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account and no sign-up
• No ads, analytics, or tracking
• Anything you type stays on the card and is cleared when you leave it
IMPORTANT
PauseDeck is a self-guided grounding tool. It isn't therapy, medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it isn't for emergencies. If you're in crisis or in danger, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line.
