Pausely turns your time off the phone into a tree you can watch grow, without locking you out of anything. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Connect Screen Time. Pausely reads your phone usage through Apple's Screen Time, with no account and no app blocking. β€’ Grow your tree. Time away from your phone earns growth points, and your seed grows through eight stages into a full tree. Heavy days hurt its health, so you see your habits every day. β€’ Plant a real one. Growth points earn seeds. Spend a seed to plant a real tree with Trees for the Future and get a certificate. WHAT YOU GET β€’ A tree that reflects your real habits β€’ Streaks and badges that reward consistency β€’ Optional reminders: a bedtime heads-up, a morning recap and a weekly recap β€’ Your real week from Screen Time, and how many years you'd spend on your phone at your current pace β€’ No lockouts, no shame WHY IT WORKS Willpower alone doesn't beat a feed built to keep you watching. Watching your progress grow every day does. No shame, and no 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. Your feed will still be there tomorrow. Your time won't. Plant your first seed today. β€” Pausely offers an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
