Description
Based on the ancient principles of Tai Chi and mindfulness practice, PAUSE brings the act of focused attention to your mobile device. Using a patent-pending technique and a unique approach to modern technology, you can easily start the journey to relaxation – anywhere and anytime. By slowly and continuously moving your fingertip across the screen, PAUSE triggers the body’s ‘rest and digest’ response, quickly helping you regain focus and release stress within minutes. The calming audiovisual feedback in the app is designed to help you keep your attention and focus in the present moment. Throughout development of the application, PAUSE has been continuously tested and validated using EEG-technology.

Customer Reviews
My New Cigarette Break!
I am a very busy person. There are not enough minutes in the day. I have been smoking cigarettes regretfully because until now, I have never found as short of a break as a cigarette gives. Seven minutes. I can't watch a show, cook a snack, catch up on social media, read up on political issues, call my mom--ANYTHING in just seven minutes. It's been a great excuse to smoke cigarettes and still feel like a well rounded person. Pause is exactly what I needed. Something that would help me take healthy breaks in between all the running around I do. On behalf of everyone who loves me, thank you for helping kill a bad habit. My undying gratitude to you and your team. ❤️
Good Start, Incomplete Programming
The nay-sayers do not understand this potentially brilliant, but flawed-and-fixable, program. The software at once encourages the user to watch the blob and close his eyes. This is a common error in programming: being unable to create an interface that is not visual. The static, annoying sound track needs to be swapped with an aural interface. Pause might, for example, be made to play a gently pulsing drone when the pace of moving the finger is correct, but that raises in pitch and turns somewhat grating when the finger moves too fast, and glissandos down to a slower, lower throb when the finger moves too slowly.
Great, but there could be some better things.
I love this app, but I think there should be a mode where you can move faster just for fun, for people who like fast-moving things instead of slow, and also I think that there should be an option to choose the color you want, because my anxiety was triggered by one of the colors yesterday. It would be really fun to choose your own color, that way there would be no triggers by color, since this app is designed to relieve stress and anxiety, not cause it.
