About Pauza
Pauza is a caring companion that helps you cut back on the sites that hold you — not just another blocker.
Pick a severity for each site: • Observe — nothing is blocked; visits are simply counted so you can see your patterns. • Friction — a few seconds' pause and one question before you enter. You can always continue. • Quota — free access up to X minutes of active time per day, then paused until tomorrow. • Block — no access, with a kind pause page (or the tab closes — your choice).
To go further: • Schedules — apply a rule only at certain times, or make a site available only inside a time window. • Predefined categories — social networks, video, news, shopping, adult content, gambling — added in one click. • Strict mode — lock your rules: softening or deleting them requires a 24-hour delay. • Panic button — block every tracked site for one hour, in one click. • Statistics & streaks — a clear dashboard of your last 14 days and your clean-day streaks. • Discreet mode — blurred site names and an optional PIN, for privacy from people around you. • Available in 7 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish.
Private by design: no account, no server, no ads, no telemetry. Everything stays on your device. Free, forever.
And the tone matters: Pauza never guilt-trips you. Landing on a paused page is not a failure — the detour is already done.
