About

Pausely

Features

Your phone takes years. Pausely helps you take them back, with a little help from Pip. Pip is a fish who lives on your Today screen, and she feels your screen time. Stay under your daily goal and she stays bright and happy. Scroll past it and she starts to look seasick. Every morning she starts fresh, and so do you. LOCK YOUR NIGHTS Pick the apps that keep you up, and Pausely locks them on schedule. Set up to 3 lock times. Night runs from 10 PM to 7 AM by default. While a lock is on, those apps only offer a Close button, and Pausely has no button to end a lock early. Choose your level: • Hard: your chosen apps lock on schedule. • Brutal: a partner sets your Screen Time passcode, so deleting Pausely needs their passcode. Make it stricter any time. Making it easier waits 24 hours, and never happens during a lock. SPIN FOR EXTRA TIME Once a day, before tonight's lock, spin the wheel for a small task: go for a walk, or take a 15-minute break from your phone or from one app. Finish it and tonight's lock starts 30 minutes later. WATCH YOUR PROGRESS • Your real Screen Time, right from the first open • A streak for every night you keep the lock • 10 achievements, each adding a decoration to Pip's water • Home Screen widgets that keep Pip in view • A heads-up before your lock starts and a recap every morning PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pausely is built on Apple's Screen Time framework. Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone, and Pausely never sees the names of the apps you lock. No account, no ads. PAUSELY PLUS Start with a 14-day free trial, then choose a yearly or monthly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm.
