Description

Pausa is a guided breathwork app designed to help you reduce stress and anxiety, sleep better, and regain control over your screen time. Built for moments when your mind feels loud and your body won’t slow down, Pausa turns breathing into a practical, daily tool you can actually stick to. No mysticism, no pressure, no complicated rituals. Just breathing, guided with intention.
Pausa was born from the search for real answers to panic attacks. Not inspirational quotes. Not vague advice. Real, physiological tools that work when anxiety takes over. That origin defines everything in the app: simple, grounded, and focused on helping you feel less alone when it matters most.
At its core, Pausa is about companionship. When anxiety hits at 2 a.m., when stress builds during the day, or when your mind won’t let you rest, Pausa is there to guide you through it. Calmly. Clearly. Without judgment.
The Pausa iOS app offers guided breathing sessions designed to lower stress, reduce anxiety, and prepare your body for rest. Each breathing technique is backed by proven respiratory patterns that help regulate your nervous system. You choose how you feel, and Pausa shows you how to breathe.
With the Mood Tracker, you can tell Pausa how you’re feeling in the moment. Anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, tired, or restless. Based on your mood, the app recommends a breathing technique tailored to what your body needs right now. No guessing. No overthinking.
Pausa also includes a 10-day guided breathing journey, designed for people who want to build a simple mindfulness habit without feeling lost. Each day introduces a new session, helping you understand your breathing, your stress responses, and how to regain control through calm repetition.
One of Pausa’s most powerful features is its Screen Time integration on iOS. Using Apple’s Screen Time API, Pausa helps you reduce screen time by locking the apps you want to use less. To unlock them, you don’t tap a button. You breathe. This transforms mindless phone use into a conscious pause, helping you break compulsive habits and reconnect with yourself.
If you’re not feeling okay, Pausa has an SOS button. One tap brings immediate guidance to help you slow your breathing, ground yourself, and ride out intense moments of anxiety or panic. You don’t need to explain how you feel. You just breathe, and Pausa takes care of the rest.
You can also choose any breathing technique at any time. Whether you want to relax, recover, focus, or sleep, Pausa guides you with clear audio, gentle pacing, and minimal distractions. The app adapts to you, not the other way around.
Pausa is designed with a clean, calming interface that feels safe and easy to use, even when your mind isn’t. It’s built for people who don’t want to meditate, but still want relief. For people who want less noise, fewer notifications, and more calm.
If you’re looking for a breathing app that helps with anxiety, stress, sleep, and screen time reduction, Pausa is your space to slow down, breathe, and feel accompanied.
Pausa also record breathing sessions as mindfulness minutes on the Health App.

What's new (v1.10.3)

This update makes Pausa feel more personal, focused, and easier to use from the moment you open the app.

We’ve added motivational phrases to the home screen to help you start each session with a clearer intention. Whether you want to reduce stress, calm anxiety, recover during the day, or simply take a short reset, Pausa now gives you a small prompt to help you reconnect before breathing.

Journeys have also been refined. The experience now feels smoother, clearer, and more guided, helping you build consistency without overthinking what to do next.

Finally, we improved onboarding so Pausa can understand you better from the beginning. This helps personalize the experience and makes it easier to recommend breathing exercises based on what you need.
