About Pawwall: Focus & Screen Time
Stuck in the scroll again? Meet Mau, the cat who gets you out. The feed never ends. Your time does. Pawwall puts a warm, stubborn cat between you and your doomscroll: pick the apps that eat your evenings once, and Mau pauses them with Apple's Screen Time, on a schedule or right now. GET YOUR TIME BACK Every hour Mau guards is an hour you keep. Home shows your day in real numbers: the time guarded today, how often you reached for a paused app and backed off, a seven-day strip, and your goal (under the hours a day you told Mau). Nothing is invented; everything is counted on your device. SEE YOUR LIFE IN SCREEN YEARS Setup asks a few short questions: your name, your hours a day, the habits you want to change, your age. Then Pawwall shows 90 dots, one for each year of a life, and how many would go to screens at your pace. Every figure is an estimate computed on your device from your own answers, and Mau sets up your first plan to win some of those years back. YOUR WORST APPS, PAUSED BY A CAT Choose your apps or whole categories once. Set a plan (Night focus, a work block, or Focus now for 15, 25, 45 or 60 minutes) and Mau keeps watch. Open a paused app and Apple's system shield appears: "Mau's paw is on this one." with your plan and the time your apps come back. "Stay focused" closes it. SLIPPED? NO SHAME. "Pause with Mau" opens Court: a breathing Mau, one breath ring, and one simple question about what pulled you in: boredom, stress, habit or FOMO. Then it's your call: "I'm good," or open the app for five minutes. No shame spiral, no guilt mechanics. PROOF IT'S WORKING Open "Your week with Mau" from the Home menu: the hours Mau guarded, the times you backed off, your best day, and how each plan kept its word. Real numbers from your own device, shareable as a night card. Your Quiet Score keeps the long count alongside. MAU'S ON DUTY FROM MINUTE ONE Mau greets you by name with your first plan armed. One tap, "Protect the next 25 minutes", guards the apps you already chose. Mau breathes, blinks, twitches an ear and reacts to your day; soft sounds respect your silent switch, gentle haptics mark every kept session. Home Screen widgets, Live Activities and the Dynamic Island keep your focus status one glance away. QUIET BY DEFAULT Every reminder is opt-in. Plan-start alerts are off until you turn them on, per plan. "Check-ins from Mau", an occasional nudge back sent by push, is off by default and sends nothing unless you switch it on. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No account. Pawwall never reads what you do inside your apps; your app choices and focus history stay on your device. Usage analytics (coarse events, never which apps, no account needed) help us improve. In Europe you choose first and can switch them off anytime in Settings. Terms (EULA): https://pawwall.app/terms/ · Privacy: https://pawwall.app/privacy/ REQUIREMENTS Pausing apps requires Apple's Family Controls authorization. Pawwall is made for adults managing their own device and attention; it is not a parental-control product. If Screen Time authorization is unavailable or denied, Pawwall tells you plainly and shows how to turn it on; it never pretends your apps are paused.
