Hold vs Pause

Hold is a gentle urge interruption system for emotional eating and cravings. When an urge hits, you don't have to give in to autopilot or white-knuckle it. Hold will predict when the urge will hit and notify you. Open Hold, start a guided pause, and let the moment pass with you in control. HOW IT WORKS • Start a Hold the second a craving shows up • Ride out a calm, guided 10-minute pause — it keeps counting even if you put your phone down • Name what you're really feeling: stress, boredom, loneliness, tiredness, or reward • Choose a comfort swap and log what happened • Watch your patterns take shape over time WHY IT HELPS Most snacking isn't about hunger — it's about a feeling. Hold helps you notice the trigger, create a little space, and build a calmer relationship with food, one pause at a time.

Pause is the button you press the moment a sugar craving hits. A craving is a wave: it peaks in 3–5 minutes and fades in 15. Pause gives you one clear thing to do for the next 60–120 seconds and shows you the wave passing. • One tap when it hits. Rate the urge 0–10, get a technique, rate again. • Ten short techniques: 4-7-8 breathing, Catch the color, a glass of water, a letter to yourself, micro-movement, body scan, postpone, and more. • It learns what works for you. Every session updates a personal ranking: which technique lowers your craving the most, at which time of day, for which trigger. • No shame. A slip is data, not a failure. Your resisted count never resets. • Insights: a craving map by weekday and time, your top triggers, weekly trends. • Widgets, Lock Screen, Live Activity for the 15-minute wait, Siri and the Action Button. • Everything stays on your phone. No account, no cloud. Pause does not count calories or grams of sugar, does not set weight goals and is not a medical tool.
