less scrolling, more living. turn every minute off social into tokens, keep your streak alive, and challenge friends to unplug. your time is worth it
Challenge a friend to scroll less. Loser pays — in minutes (tokens).
Pauza is the first screen time app where focus is a game you win together. Most blockers rely on willpower — and willpower runs out. Pauza adds something stronger: a real stake and a friend on the other side.
CHALLENGE A FRIEND
Challenge a friend to scroll less than you. Whoever loses, really pays. A real stake and someone watching make it far harder to reach for the feed — this is the part no other screen time app has.
EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME
Every minute you don't waste becomes a reward you keep. Trade scrolling for something that grows, instead of just fighting the urge.
BLOCK THE APPS THAT EAT YOUR DAY
Set limits on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and more in seconds. Powered by Apple Screen Time.
SEE WHERE YOUR HOURS GO
A clear, app-by-app breakdown of your day — no guessing, no shame, just the truth about where the time went.
BUILD A STREAK
Win one focused day at a time and watch your progress grow. Small wins, stacked.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The apps you choose to block never leave your device — your blocklist is yours alone, built with Apple's Screen Time API. Only an anonymous daily total syncs, so friends see your minutes, never which apps you used. The optional avatar selfie is processed once and deleted — never stored.
PAUZA PRO
The core app — blocking, tracking, streaks and challenges — is free. Pauza Pro unlocks longer Hard mode sessions, extended challenges, and full weekly / monthly / yearly analytics.
