Version 2.0 — built to hold

Every app wants
your attention.
This one gives it back.

Pausa puts a daily budget on the apps that eat your time — and holds the line when you can't. Set it once, clear-headed. Pausa keeps it in the tired evening.

Pausa arrives August 3.

You decide, not the apps.

Free. No account, no tracking, no ads.

room to spare

The apps were built to decide how your day goes. Pausa hands that back.

The mechanism

Three quiet parts that keep the apps from running your day.

Today's budgets

Give each app a daily allowance.

Thirty minutes of Instagram. An hour of YouTube. You decide — then Pausa enforces it, all day, automatically. Any app that tends to take you.

A wall that holds

Spend it, meet a pause.

No red alert, no shame — a calm screen when the time's gone. Push again and the pause grows. The more you push, the steadier it gets.

The Pausa Score

Lately — am I in control?

One quiet number. Not a streak to break, not a high score to chase — a healthy zone to stay in.

the budget

You set it. Pausa keeps it.

Decide how much each app gets while you're calm and clear. Then never decide again in the tired evening — Pausa already knows the number, and holds it for you.

The Pausa Score

Not a high score. A healthy zone.

One bad day is one seventh of the picture, never a reset. The goal isn't a hundred — it's staying in the green. Three honest states, one quiet number.
