About PauseHer

PauseHer is a gentle, self-care-first app that encourages healthy habits before social media. We believe scrolling can be a reward—earned with a moment of yoga and mindfulness.

Our Mission

PauseHer was created for women who want a healthier relationship with social media—with mindfulness and choice. We offer a moment of mindfulness and a simple physical reset before unlocking your favorite apps. Scrolling is a reward, not a reflex.

How It Works

When you open a locked app or website (Instagram, TikTok, etc.), PauseHer invites you to hold a quick yoga pose. Your camera and on-device pose detection guide you. Complete the pose and you’re unlocked for your chosen time. A short cooldown keeps the flow healthy. We simply add a kind step: pause, pose, then enjoy your apps.

You choose which apps and websites to pause. The app uses Apple’s Screen Time and Vision frameworks; no cloud AI, no accounts required. Your data stays minimal and device-based.

Core Features

  • Yoga unlock: Hold a short pose (e.g. Arms Up, Squat) to unlock—random each time.
  • Choose your apps and websites: Select which apps and websites to pause (Instagram, TikTok, and more).
  • Flexible unlock time: Choose how long to unlock, then pause again with a brief cooldown.
  • Dashboard: See how often you paused and unlocked with yoga—positive reinforcement only.
  • Gentle accountability: Before you scroll, earn it with yoga.

Privacy First

We take your privacy seriously. Pose detection runs on your device; we don’t use your camera for profiling or advertising. Data is minimal and device-based. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.
