Pausely helps you spend less time scrolling, without locking you out of anything. Pick the apps that pull you in. Pausely nudges you when a session runs long and grows a tree while you stay away. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your apps. Choose the ones you lose the most time to: social media, short videos, games. • Get a nudge, not a lockout. When a session runs long, Pausely sends a gentle reminder so you can decide if you really want to keep going. • Grow your tree. Time away from those apps earns growth points, and your seed grows into a sapling, then a tree. Long binges hurt its health, so you see the effect of your habits every day. • Plant a real one. Healthy days earn you seeds. Spend a seed to plant a real tree with trees.org and get a certificate for it. WHAT YOU GET • A tree that reflects your real habits: healthy when you're present, wilting when you binge • Streaks and achievements, like Binge-Free Week, that make consistency feel rewarding • Hourly insights that show when during the day you scroll the most • Growth points for phone-free time, with bonuses for quiet mornings and nights • Gentle nudges at the moment a session starts to drag on WHY IT WORKS Willpower alone doesn't beat a feed built to keep you watching. What helps is a small pause at the right moment and progress you can actually see. Pausely gives you both, with no shame and no hard lockouts you'll switch off after a week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pausely uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your app usage stays on your iPhone, and there's no account to create. PAUSELY IS FOR YOU IF… • You open TikTok, Instagram or YouTube "for a second" and lose an hour • You've tapped "Remind Me in 15 Minutes" on Screen Time more times than you can count • You want a digital detox that doesn't feel like punishment • You like watching progress add up, and a tree grow Your feed will still be there tomorrow. Your time won't. Plant your first seed today. — Pausely offers an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings.
