BookNotes vs Pause

Capture notes & remember forever. BookNotes turns the books you read into knowledge that lasts. Capture a quick note, import your Kindle and Apple Books highlights, and a daily Recall feed brings each one back at the right moment, so what you read stays with you. THREE QUIET HABITS • Capture: type a note, select text straight off a photo of the page, or let AI suggest the highlights worth keeping. Every note links to its book, author, and chapter, so context is never lost. • Recall: a daily feed resurfaces your notes at growing intervals using spaced repetition, so they move from short-term to long-term memory. • Review: auto-generated multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank (cloze) quizzes turn passive highlights into active recall. Tap "Explain with AI" on any note for the context behind it. YOUR OWN FILING SYSTEM • Give a note a colored label, then pull up every note wearing it, across every book you have read. Name them whatever your own system calls them. Colored tabs sit on the edge of each card, and a tap opens that label. • Practice one label on its own when that is what you need. • Send your notes on to Notion, Obsidian or Apple Notes. After a first export, "Only what's new" sends just what you have added since. START FREE Everything is free for your first 30 days, no card needed. Bring years of existing Kindle, Apple Books, and Goodreads highlights into BookNotes in a few taps. After that, keep reviewing your notes as flashcards for free, or subscribe for AI quizzes, unlimited Recall and unlimited notes. STUDYING FOR A REAL EXAM?

What if the time that melts away on social media went into a book instead? A quick break? Catching up on news? Just checking one notification… You meant to look for a minute, and two hours are gone. The break left you tired, not rested. And every day, a faint sense of "what am I doing" quietly eats at your confidence along with your time. You're not alone. That's why Pause exists. Pause asks you to decide how long BEFORE you open social or video apps. Then it shows what that time was worth in pages: how much of a book you could have read. When your time is up, the apps are blocked again automatically. No blame. Just a gentle place to stop, so a little of your scrolling turns into reading, day by day. That book you've been meaning to read, a few pages at a time. A reading habit builds on its own. And a small companion, Pause-kun, grows with every page. [ Free ] • Sessions: pick "just N minutes" before you open. When time's up, the apps are blocked again • Reading timer: paper or app. Time in Kindle, Audible, or Apple Books counts as reading too • Pages instead of minutes: your social time shown as "about N pages of a book" • Honest records: based on Screen Time measurements. No inflated numbers to scare you • A companion that grows: books pile up behind Pause-kun as you pause and read • Home Screen widget and a Lock Screen view while you read (Live Activity) • Share card: the time you turned into reading, and your companion, in one image • Today and this week at a glance * The free version covers up to 3 apps. [ Pause Plus ] The free version is enough for most days. Pause Plus is for people who want to cut back more seriously. It's available as a subscription or a one-time purchase. • Push Mode: a block you can't lift for the period you choose • Unlimited apps • Reward Mode: after you finish, 24 hours with no limits on your blocked apps • Monthly and yearly views, with a full year of history • Name your companion Pause Plus yearly and monthly plans each come with a 1-month free trial. Pause Plus one-time purchase: pay once, no auto-renewal. [ Your privacy ] • Your Screen Time details and the books you read never leave your device. No account, no sign-in • Pause doesn't ban social media. It only asks you to pause. The choice is always yours After the free trial, the subscription converts to a paid plan. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in Settings → Apple ID after purchase.
