About this app

The screen-time fight nearly broke our evenings. So I built Pausely.

Hi — I'm Rae, the parent who made this app. Not a big company. Just someone who tried every screen-time tool out there and watched my kid fight, cry, or outsmart all of them. The "controls" felt like surveillance. The lockdowns felt like punishment. Nothing felt calm — and nothing actually stuck.

So I built the thing I actually wanted: a gentle, structured way to pause the screen that my kid would accept and that I could trust.

That's Pausely.

Pausely watches the clock, not your child. After about 20 minutes of screen time — the kind of regular pause eye-care experts recommend — it calmly takes over with a friendly full-screen break, led by Pip, a little robot who makes a pause feel like a reset, not a punishment. Kids stop fighting it. You stop refereeing it.

WHAT YOU GET
- Structured breaks that actually hold — no swiping them away
- PIN protection, so the controls stay yours
- Emergency calls and WhatsApp always get through — a break never means out of reach
- A clean parent dashboard: today's screen time at a glance
- Guardian email unlock (Pro) — email yourself a code to lift a break from anywhere
- Built kid-first with Pip, so it's something they don't resist

CALM, NOT CONTROLLING
No shame. No spyware vibes. Just healthy pauses — playful for kids, clean and simple for you.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Pausely only tracks when the screen is on and for how long — that's it. It never reads your screen content, your messages, or your keystrokes. Your usage stays on the device. No ads. We never sell your data — I'd never want that for my own family, let alone yours.

FREE TO START
Use Pausely free. Pro adds guardian email unlock and more, with a 3-day free trial. Cancel anytime — no tricks.

I built Pausely for my family. I'd be honored to have it help yours.
