StarPause vs Psyched

You open your phone to search—and lose hours to your feed. You scroll to relax at home—and suddenly, it’s 3AM at night. You try to scroll less, but fail. You blame your lack of self-control—but it’s not your fault. Some of the world’s smartest engineers work daily to make apps better at playing on our weaknesses, keeping you scrolling and turning your time into ad money. It drains your time, breaks your focus, and takes the joy out of your digital life—you need help. That’s why we built StarPause. Open an app you struggle to stop using, and StarPause steps in: Do you need this right now? Choose to leave, and light up a star. If you need to stay, set a time limit—StarPause stops you when it’s up. Start a focus session, and earn stars when you finish. Every time you choose to put your phone down or stay focused, your starry sky grows. Time and energy are our greatest treasures—let StarPause help you protect them.

Nerves can feel like evidence that something is about to go wrong. Psyched helps you test that feeling against what actually happens. Before an exam, interview, presentation, tryout, or other high-pressure moment, log what you expect and rate your dread from 0–10. Run a short readiness protocol, then come back afterward to record reality. Over time, Psyched turns your own history into a clear dread-versus-reality chart. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Learn the app in a minute with Momo's hands-on tour • Log upcoming performance moments and your predicted dread • Use a focused 60–90 second readiness protocol • Compare each prediction with what actually happened • See your personal pattern across events • Find where your dread runs hottest, by kind of event, with two concrete next moves • See which body sensations show up most, and how those events actually went • Choose a companion voice for concise encouragement • Explore the research behind every major feature PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Psyched works offline without an account. Your entries stay on your device unless you enable optional iCloud sync or sign in to an optional Psyched account for server sync. Companion generation never receives your event titles, fears, focus intentions, outcome notes, username, or account details. Psyched is a performance psychology tool, not a medical or mental health service. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and is not a substitute for professional care. IN MAINLAND CHINA Core logging, the readiness protocol, charts, the Next move card, and research work on your device. Companion encouragement uses bundled wording; live generated companion text and personalized readings are not offered on the China mainland App Store. If you downloaded Psyched from the China mainland App Store, optional Psyched accounts and server sync are hosted in mainland China. iCloud sync is a separate optional feature that depends on your Apple Account and iCloud availability.
