No account required. Your data is stored locally and is not uploaded to our servers, so you can put your phone down with peace of mind. PauseCue helps you pause before selected apps open, so you can choose with intention instead of being pulled in by habit. Most screen time does not start with a big decision. It starts with one automatic tap. PauseCue places a short, clear pause before the apps, categories, or websites you choose, giving you a moment to ask: do I really want to open this now? Use it for: - Study, work, reading, writing, and deep-focus time - Bedtime, mornings, and moments when your phone sets the tone - Apps you still need, but do not want to open automatically - Building a calmer relationship with your iPhone - Reviewing progress across weeks, months, quarters, and years Main features: - Choose apps, categories, or websites with Apple Screen Time - Create focus plans for different routines and moments - See a clean pause screen before selected content opens - Unlock briefly when you choose to continue - Use strict mode for moments that need stronger boundaries - Review weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly progress trends - Try challenge packs for guided routines - Local-first design: selections, plans, and progress stay on this iPhone by default Free Basic includes 1 app set and 1 active focus plan.

Subscriptions and purchases are handled by the App Store and can be managed in your App Store account settings. PauseCue is not a punishment tool or a parental monitoring app. It is a small space between impulse and action: pause briefly, then move forward with more control.
