How it works

Four modes, one nervous system

01 · Everyday check-in

Everyday check-in

One glance at where your nervous system stands

Home opens on a real reading of where you stand today, not a list of tasks. You'll always know whether today calls for maintenance or intervention.

In the moment · 02

When anxiety spikes, PAUS meets you there

Crisis Mode is a dark, high-contrast space built for peak distress. It guides you through CBT, ACT, and DBT techniques right away, with no scrolling, no friction, and no waiting for a class to start.

Your profile · 03

A nervous-system report built from your own data

A diagnostic-style report generated from your intake and biometric signal. It reflects your actual patterns, not generic content.

Building regulation · 04

Daily practice that compounds

Short, varied sessions build your regulation capacity over time. The goal is needing Crisis Mode less, not depending on it.

Why PAUS is different

Built on real signal

01

Real biometric integration

Heart rate and HRV signal feed the tool in real time, so PAUS responds to what your body is actually doing right now.

02

A personalized report

Your Anxiety Profile is generated from a real intake and your ongoing data. It's a specific, evolving read on your nervous system that updates as you use the app.

03

Evidence-based variety

Techniques are drawn from CBT, ACT, and DBT, named accurately. They rotate so practice never goes stale, and they're matched to the mode you're actually in.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

01What is PAUS?

+
PAUS is a real-time nervous system regulation app for iOS. It opens directly into what you need in the moment: a fast-acting Crisis Mode when anxiety spikes, a personalized Anxiety Profile built from your intake and biometric signal, and a Daily Mode of short evidence-based practice that builds regulation capacity over time.

02What's the best app for anxiety?

+
The right app depends on what you need it for. General relaxation content works fine for many people. If you need something built specifically for the moment anxiety spikes, PAUS focuses on real biometric signal (heart rate and HRV), a dark high-contrast Crisis Mode designed for peak distress, and techniques drawn from CBT, ACT, and DBT.

03How is PAUS different from Calm or Headspace?

+
Calm and Headspace focus on scheduled, preventative practice: sleep stories, guided meditation sessions, mood journaling. PAUS focuses on the acute moment. Crisis Mode is designed to open when anxiety is already happening, and it uses real biometric signal to inform what it shows you. Your Anxiety Profile is generated from your actual data instead of a static content library.

04Does PAUS help with panic attacks?

+
Crisis Mode is built for exactly this. It's a dark, high-contrast, no-scroll interface with guided CBT, ACT, and DBT techniques you can use in the middle of acute distress. PAUS is a self-regulation tool. If you're in crisis, please also contact a licensed provider or local emergency services.

05Is PAUS good for health anxiety?

+
PAUS is built for real-time nervous system regulation, including the physical-symptom spirals common in health anxiety. Real biometric signal can help you tell an actual physiological spike apart from a thought spiral. PAUS is not a diagnostic or medical tool, so it doesn't replace an evaluation from a licensed clinician.

06Is PAUS a replacement for therapy?

+
No. PAUS is a self-regulation tool. It's not a clinical treatment and doesn't substitute for professional mental health care. If you're in crisis or need diagnosis and treatment, please contact a licensed provider or local emergency services.

07How is my data handled?

+
Your biometric and usage data exists to power your own Anxiety Profile and in-app guidance. We don't sell it, and we don't use it to train models for anyone else. Full detail lives in ourPrivacy Policy.

08How does the free trial work?

+
The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial, billed through the App Store. Cancel any time before it ends and you won't be charged. The weekly plan has no trial and bills weekly from purchase.

09Can I cancel anytime?

+
Yes. Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID or App Store settings, and you can cancel any time. You'll keep access through the end of the current billing period.
