A tool for remote business to promote mindfulness practices

Teams are constantly bombarded by stress and dopamine sources, in their personal and professional lives.
We strongly believe that even if remote work is awesome, it can be hard to know when to stop and take
care of ourselves, that's what Pausa for People is a compelling solution for Teams where they gain
access to the Pausa app, a breathwork and screen time management solution:
With the Pausa app team members can reduce their screen time, this is how it works: they tell us what
apps they want to reduce screen time and after what time, then we'll block those apps after that set time,
they will have to complete a breathing session to unlock them. This way we cut the dopamine cycle in from
it source and help them disconnect.
Breath work is scientifically proven to work, and doing it consciously and in the right moment has a huge
impact in the wellbeing of team members. It's also easier than more accesible than yoga or meditation.
Pausa tells them how to breathe to feel better.

Pausa for People - Reduce turnover & burnout in organization with breath work

Pausa helps teams reduce screen time by turning distracting app unlocks into short guided breathing breaks. Instead of relying on guilt, surveillance, or hard blockers, Pausa creates a small pause between impulse and action. Employees scroll less, regain focus faster, and build healthier digital habits without adding another complicated productivity tool. Less doomscrolling. More presence. Better teams.
