Pause: daily mindfulness blends ancient Tai Chi principles with a patent-pending gesture to calm the body and mind. By slowly and continuously moving your fingertip across the screen, PAUSE triggers the body’s rest-and-digest response, supporting quick focus and stress relief. The app provides calming audiovisual feedback to guide present-moment awareness and has been EEG-tested during development.

Key benefits include a digital approach to mindfulness, an interactive tool to regain focus, and scientifically evaluated methods. Available anywhere and designed for iPhone devices, PAUSE also integrates mindfulness minutes with the Health app on iOS 10+ for a seamless wellness experience.

User Reviews

Users broadly praise Pause as calming, simple, and effective for anxiety and focus, with relaxing visuals. Recurrent drawbacks include pricing/subscription changes, lack of customization (speed/colors) and health integration, privacy concerns in public spaces due to audible/visible activity, and occasional technical/UI issues on newer devices. Overall, it’s valued as a mindfulness tool, but pricing and flexibility are the primary sticking points for many reviews.

Pros

Calming and anxiety-reducing; helps with panic attacks and stress.
Simple, intuitive, easy to use.
Effective for focus and grounding, useful during meetings or stressful moments.
Visually relaxing and engaging visuals (colorful themes and blob growth) that enhance the mindfulness experience.
Generally perceived as worth the purchase and improvements, with ongoing updates.

Cons

Not discreet in public: audio can be audible and visuals can reveal you’re using it in meetings, making it hard to use in some environments.
Pricing and subscription model: after a one-time purchase, advanced features require Pause Premium; many users find it expensive.
Limited customization and missing features: cannot adjust blob speed or colors, cannot turn off audio, and no Apple Health mindfulness logging.
Not fully optimized for newer iPhones: issues with full-screen display on iPhone X and later models.
Occasional technical glitches and reliability concerns: audio dropouts, sign-in issues after updates, and occasional unusable states.

I used to live this simple little app. When I was in a meeting and having trouble focusing it was perfect. It was both calming and focusing. Now it is useless! The only time I can use it is if I’m alone in a quiet room, and then I don’t need it! I bought it because it purports to help anxiety and improve focus, but I can’t use it in situations where that’s needed. Even with the volume turned down on my phone this app broadcasts to everyone around me that I’m using it.

App is simple and straightforward. Developer continues making meaningful improvements to the app in response to feedback!

This is an amazing app and is well worth the money! The only improvement I would ask for is for an option to keep the "guide" from growing outside of the screen. I would like to watch it follow my fingertip and I find that part most relaxing. Update: very bummed that the newest update requires an annual fee now to access the additional features after I paid for the app, but at least the original feature is still free…hoping the same won’t happen to Sway…
