About this app

🐱 A CAT FORCES YOUR BREAKS

Pawse is a screen-time gatekeeper for Android. Set how long you can scroll, and when your global phone time hits the limit, a cat takes over your screen until the break ends. Simple, playful, and effective.

No account. No cloud tracking. Your settings stay on your device.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✨ WHY PAWSE?

Most screen-time apps nag you with notifications you can ignore. Pawse blocks the scroll with a full-screen cat overlay β€” you literally cannot keep scrolling until your break timer finishes.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 FEATURES

⏱ GLOBAL SCREEN TIME TRACKING
Pawse reads total foreground screen time across your whole phone β€” not just one app. A progress ring shows how close you are to your limit.

🐾 CAT BREAK OVERLAY
When time is up, your cat appears full-screen on top of every app. The overlay stays until your break ends. No dismiss button. No cheating.

βš™οΈ CUSTOM TIMERS (PREMIUM)
Adjust how many minutes you get before the cat arrives, and how long each break lasts. Free tier includes sensible defaults to try Pawse first.

🐱 CHOOSE YOUR CAT
Pick from bundled cats. Premium unlocks extra cats and lets you upload a photo of your own cat as the break buddy.

πŸ”’ ON-DEVICE PRIVACY
No login required. Timer settings, selected cat, and custom uploads are stored locally on your phone. Screen time data is processed on-device β€” not uploaded to our servers.

πŸ“± SIMPLE SETUP
Grant two Android permissions once:
β€’ Usage Access β€” counts global screen time
β€’ Display over other apps β€” shows the cat overlay during breaks

Then tap Start Pawse and go about your day.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 PERFECT FOR

β€’ Doomscrollers who need a hard stop, not another reminder
β€’ Students and remote workers building healthier phone habits
β€’ Parents setting scroll limits for themselves
β€’ Anyone who responds better to playful accountability than guilt
β€’ Cat people who want digital wellbeing with personality

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⭐ PREMIUM

Free to try with default timers and one cat. Upgrade once for lifetime access:
β€’ Custom usage and break minutes
β€’ Extra bundled cats
β€’ Upload your own cat image

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

πŸ”’ PRIVACY & SAFETY

β€’ No account required
β€’ Settings stored locally on your device
β€’ Screen time processed on-device
β€’ Firebase Crashlytics may collect anonymous crash reports
β€’ Purchases handled by Google Play and RevenueCat
