How a pause works

Tap pause. Everyone knows what comes next.

Pausii turns the end of screen time into the same calm routine, every time.

Try it: tap Pause, or drag to a time or to Tasks, and watch your kid's phone.

Tap pause on your phone

Pause now, or pick a time like 15 minutes from now. You can also pause until chores are done.

Your child gets a heads-up

Their iPad or iPhone shows a countdown, so screen time never ends by surprise.

A calm end, then real life

Apps pause and your child sees what to do next, and when apps come back.

From parents

How families describe Pausii

The best way to end screen time on their iPads, without any negotiation or fuss.
Katie, parent of two
It’s a super simple way to avoid the back and forth over screen time ending.
Juliette, parent of one
Pausii is a way to calmly interrupt screen time without too much disruption.
Tyler, parent of two
It is a much more intuitive and functional parental control for your kids’ devices.
Andrew, parent of two
Pausii removes the chaos and unnecessary strain associated with managing kids’ screen time. And it’s so simple and easy to use, a no brainer for parents.
Steve, parent of two

Why it feels calmer

“Five more minutes” shouldn’t start an argument.

Transitions are hard when kids are deep in something. Pausii is built around three simple ideas that make the end of screen time feel expected, not sudden.

Clear expectations

Make screen time easier for the whole family to understand.

Easier transitions

A heads-up and a countdown, so kids know what comes next.

Room for real life

Adjust to the moments that don’t go according to plan.

Who Pausii is for

Made for kids still learning when to stop

Pausii is ideal for young kids with their first iPad or iPhone, who are still learning to balance screen time and real life. It’s also built for kids who find transitions hard.

Pausii supports the routines you already use at home. It isn’t a therapy or medical tool.

Why we’re building Pausii

“I have twins who love their iPads and love talking with their friends. But sometimes we just want family time, and getting the devices put away was always a struggle. I built Pausii so screen time could end without the upset: a heads-up first, in a way my kids actually asked for.”
