ApPause is a small NFC card and a free iOS app. Tap the card to start a focus session. Tap again to end. A real, physical pause between you and your phone.
Works with iPhone XS and newer · Free iOS app · No subscription


Hold your iPhone against the card. The app opens, the session begins, distracting apps are blocked.
Read, work, eat, talk, sleep. Put the phone down. The card stays on your desk, in your pocket, by your bed.
When you're done, tap the card again. The session closes. No streaks, no shame, no graphs.
Your phone is fine. So is the internet. You just want a little more space between you and the next pickup.
