## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.
