You decide.
Not the apps.

Pausa puts a daily budget on the apps that eat your time — and holds the line when you can't. You set the limit on a calm afternoon. Pausa keeps it in the tired evening.

The apps were built to decide how your day goes.
Pausa hands that back. You set a daily budget for each one — and Pausa holds the line, even when you don't want it to.

The pull is loudest when you're tired.
That's when Pausa is steadiest.

A budget, not a ban

Give each app a
daily allowance.

Thirty minutes of Instagram. Fifteen of a game. An hour of YouTube. You decide how much, on a calm afternoon — then Pausa enforces it all day, every day, automatically. Any app that tends to take you: feeds, games, browsers, all of it.

A wall that holds

Spend your budget,
meet a pause.

No red alert, no shame — just a calm screen when the time is spent. Reach again and the pause grows: a short wait, then a quiet cooldown. The more you push, the steadier it gets. The agreement is the agreement.

"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes. Including you."

X is spent for today.

Strict mode

Slower than
the impulse.

Turn on strict mode and loosening your own rules takes a minute you have to sit through — raising a budget, opening past a wall, even turning strict mode off. Tightening is instant. The urge passes in under a minute; the rule you set holds.

A minute before you change your own rule.
Strict mode is on. You set it for exactly this moment.
Quiet proof

A score for staying
in control.

The Pausa Score answers one question: lately, am I in control? It rewards the budgets you keep — never a streak to break, never a number to chase. Just calm evidence, building over the week, that the apps don't decide anymore. You do.

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.
