What PAUSE Pro adds

Start from what you prepared

Open a preparation before the moment, start a pause from it, and finish with the next move you chose while calm.

A real iPhone recording: the fictional preparation Salary talk shows its next move, Start PAUSE begins a breathing pause, and the pause ends with that next move. Shortened; a standard pause lasts 90 seconds.

Keep a reflection journal

Reflect on any situation, with or without a pause, and keep what you learned for the next time it comes up.

A real iPhone recording: writing a short reflection on the fictional Salary talk, adding what to try next time, saving it and keeping it for next time.

A studied breathing pattern.

Two inhales, then a longer exhale. A 2023 study tested five minutes of daily cyclic sighing over 28 days; it did not test PAUSE or its 90-second reset.

Questions about Pro

What does PAUSE Pro add?

Pro adds preparations for recurring situations, reflection on any situation with a full history, the calendar, patterns and Monthly Review, 45-second and three-minute breathing formats, and PAUSE on Apple Watch.

How much does Pro cost?

Pro is available monthly or yearly. The app shows the current price for your country and the renewal terms before you subscribe. You can cancel at any time in your App Store settings.

Can I use Apple Watch without my phone?

Yes. After setup and confirmation of your Pro access from iPhone, you can complete a pause on Apple Watch without your phone nearby. It requires watchOS 10 or later.

What happens to my writing if Pro ends?

Nothing is deleted. Your preparations and reflections stay on your iPhone, and the free breathing pause keeps working. Pro features become available again when you resubscribe or restore your purchase.

Is my writing backed up?

No. Preparations and reflections stay only on your iPhone and are excluded from device backups, so they cannot be recovered after deleting the app or replacing your phone. Restore purchases brings back Pro access, not writing.
