Pause Therapy

Pause Therapy turns your phone into a simple wellness tool that interrupts autopilot scrolling with short, guided micro-interventions. On a schedule you choose, the app temporarily takes over your full screen and delivers sub-60‑second exercises—breathing prompts, coaching cues, or moments of gratitude—that cannot be swiped away. If you want quick, evidence-based pauses to reduce mindless scrolling, build small habits, and track mood and progress, Pause Therapy offers a lightweight way to insert intentional moments into a busy day using techniques from positive psychology and mindfulness.
