PausePaw is a digital wellbeing companion available as a browser extension. It detects prolonged use of platforms like X, YouTube, and TikTok and intervenes with cute, non-confrontational full-screen breaks that cannot be skipped until the timer completes. Rules sync across devices via cloud login, and it offers parental control features alongside focus tools. The app aims to help users build sustainable digital habits through gentle, positive reinforcement rather than cold blocking messages.
PausePaw sits in PulseGate's Lifestyle & Personal category. It focuses on struggling to stop endless scrolling on social media and video platforms without feeling forced or shamed. It is built as a consumer product for individuals seeking to reduce screen time and parents managing children's device use. There is a free tier. PausePaw is available on the web.
PausePaw first shipped in 2025. Among its 6 catalogued features are Unskippable Breaks, Full-screen Overlay, and Cloud Sync. The interface is available in English and Chinese.
