## What is PsalmPause?

You pick up your phone for one thing and surface an hour later, time wasted on things you didn't need or want. PsalmPause meets you in that moment with a verse and a prayer instead of a feed.

Choose the apps that you want to lock. When you reach for one, PsalmPause gently steps in with an invitation: be still, read a verse, and pray. When the prayer ends, your apps open for a window you choose.

BEAUTIFUL AND CALM BY DESIGN
• No ads, no streaks, no gamification — just a gentle reminder and a calendar to track days of prayer
• We will never use notifications for reminders or marketing — one quiet knock when you choose to pray, that's all

PRAYERS WITH ROOTS
• 365 daily prayers drawn from the Psalms and from prayers Christians have prayed for centuries
• A full offline Bible: read the whole chapter behind any verse

HOW THE PAUSE WORKS
• Pick apps (or whole categories) to pause using Apple's Screen Time
• Opening a paused app shows a quiet screen: "Be still."
• Tap to pray — a notification brings you into PsalmPause, and completing the prayer opens your apps for a set window you choose

PRIVACY FIRST
• No account. No server. No analytics.
• Your prayer history stays on your phone, and backs up privately through your own iCloud
• Apple's Screen Time design means we cannot even see which apps you choose.

PsalmPause is completely free for pausing one app — no ads, no pop-ups, forever. Full access pauses unlimited apps and app groups: $29.99 a year with a free 3-day trial, or $2.99 a month.
