pavse

Screen time, but with a cat

Your phone has a new guardian. It's a cat. It's disappointed in you.

Pavse helps you use your phone less, especially at night. Fully offline. Not released yet — the cat is still practising its stare.

How it works

Three steps. One cat. Zero chill.

  1. Set a limit

    Pick the apps that eat your evenings and give them a limit. You decide. The cat just remembers.

  2. The cat guards the door

    Opening a restricted app means waiting through a short delay first. At night, Sleep Shield locks them so bedtime stays bedtime.

  3. Keep your streak

    Stay within your limits and your streak grows. Break it, and the cat takes it personally.

Coming next

Planned, not built yet. The cat is still studying.

Planned

An AI coach, powered by Claude

Blocking apps helps tonight. Changing the habit takes more. We're planning an optional coach you can talk to about why you reach for your phone, built on Anthropic's Claude.

  • Talk it throughAsk why you keep breaking a limit and get a short, honest conversation instead of a guilt trip.
  • Better limitsGet suggestions for limits and Sleep Shield hours that fit your week.
  • Opt-in onlyOff by default. Pavse keeps working fully offline without it.

Privacy

No account. No server. Your data never leaves your phone.

  • Works fully offline. The app has no internet access.
  • No sign-up, no email, no password.
  • This website has no cookies and no analytics either.
  • The planned AI coach will be optional and off by default. The privacy policy will be updated before it ships.
