Clear answers to common questions — so you know what to expect.
Functionality
No. Pause A Moment never blocks apps, locks your screen, or forces you to stop. It simply creates a short pause — what you do after is always your choice.
No. Pause A Moment isn't about doing more or optimizing your time. It's about helping you feel better after using your phone — especially when scrolling turns automatic.
No. Pauses are short, optional, and practical. There's no technique to learn, no posture, and no expectation to "clear your mind." Many people who don't meditate use Pause A Moment comfortably.
Most pauses last under a minute. Some are just a few seconds. You can end a pause anytime. Shortness is intentional — so pauses feel easy, not demanding.
Control & Autonomy
No. Pause A Moment is not about consistency or perfection. Even occasional pauses can help restore awareness. Use it as much — or as little — as you want.
That's okay. The goal isn't to stop scrolling. It's to bring awareness back. Sometimes awareness leads to stopping. Sometimes it doesn't. Both are fine.
No. Pause A Moment never tells you to stop, continue, or change your behavior. It creates space — you decide what comes next.
Trust & Science
Screen time tools rely on restriction and discipline. Pause A Moment focuses on timing. Instead of controlling behavior, it interrupts automatic loops and restores choice — right when attention slips.
No. There are no streaks, scores, goals, or reminders to "do better." Pause A Moment works even if you use it once.
Pause A Moment is built around a simple idea: When attention runs on autopilot, a brief interruption can help reset how the nervous system feels. Small pauses — at the right moment — can make a real difference.
Privacy & Data
No. Pause A Moment does not read messages, comments, posts, or personal content.
Only what's needed to make the app function. No selling data. No ad tracking. No personal content stored.
No personal behavior is shared. Pause A Moment is designed to be private and respectful by default.
Practical
It's for people who: scroll without meaning to, feel drained after using their phone, don't want to quit social media, or want calm, not control.
That's okay. Pauses aren't meant to create dramatic changes. They're meant to create space. Some effects are subtle — less tension, more awareness, a slightly better next moment.
Pause A Moment isn't a medical or therapeutic tool. Many people find pauses helpful for winding down or reducing overstimulation — but experiences vary.
