Pause - The Focus Revolution

Every time you mindlessly open Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, Pause steps in. Instead of blocking you, it gives you a breathing exercise - a moment to decide if you really want to scroll.

HOW IT WORKS

Pause uses iOS Shortcuts to detect when you open a distracting app. It launches a guided breathing session before you can scroll. After breathing, you choose: resist the urge or open the app. No judgment - just awareness.

GUIDED BREATHING

Choose from 10 breathing techniques including Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Hubermann Sigh, and Vagus Nerve Activation. Each session pairs calming nature visuals with ambient audio - ocean waves, campfire, rainfall, and more.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS

See how many times you resisted, how much time you reclaimed, and which apps trigger you most. Per-app insights reveal your habits.
