StayPawsed: Screen Break

Pause before you scroll.

StayPawsed creates a short, personal Pawse before you continue into the apps you tend to open automatically — giving you a moment to decide what happens next.

Why StayPawsed exists

A small moment can interrupt the automatic scroll.

1

Opening an app can become automatic before you have decided what you actually want from it.

2

StayPawsed puts a small pause between the tap and the scroll.

3

Your own pet video and message make the interruption feel personal, not like another warning screen.

4

The goal is simple: give yourself a moment to choose whether to continue.

How it works

Choose it. Pawse it. Decide.

Set up the apps you want to protect, choose when StayPawsed should step in, and make the Pawse feel like yours.

Protection

Two ways to create a Pawse.

Pawse on Open and Daily Time Limit can both be enabled for the same protected app.

1

Pawse on Open

Create a Pawse when you open the protected app, before you would normally go straight into the scroll.
