Here's how it works: 2. Tap your phone on PauseBox to block selected apps After selecting a Pause Group, tap your phone on the PauseBox to start blocking apps. Your focus session begins right away. Not nearby? Use “Pause without tap” in the app to start remotely. 3. Put distance between you and the PauseBox Place your PauseBox out of reach to create intentional separation. As a physical barrier to digital distractions, it makes unblocking a conscious choice and helps break the habit loop.

WHAT IS IMPRESSION JOURNAL? Impression Journal is a fast, flexible way to capture the small stuff — a person you just met, a bird or flower you spotted, an idea passing through your head — and tie it to a place and a moment in time. Create an Impression with a name, a short description, and hashtags, and Impression Journal automatically timestamps and locates it for you. Prefer to talk? Just ask Siri for a "Quick Impression" to jot something down instantly, or a step-by-step "New Impression" to add notes and tags.
