About Wait! – Mindful Pause

You tapped it again. Did you mean to? Wait! puts one breath between you and the apps you open on autopilot. Set it in front of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube — whichever it is for you — and the next time you tap that app, Wait! appears first. Four seconds in, six seconds out, and then one plain question: still want to open it? Close it and take the moment back. Or carry on — calmly, on purpose. Either way, you decided. That's the whole idea. Not a wall you'll climb over by Tuesday, but a doorway you notice again. Most autopilot opens don't survive a single breath. HOW IT WORKS Wait! gets in front of your apps through Apple's own Shortcuts app: one small personal automation per app, set up once with Wait!'s picture-by-picture guide. Websites are covered by the Wait! extension for Safari. Prefer a firmer hand? A delayed guard gives an app a few minutes, then closes over it until you take a breath again. Nothing runs in the background, and nothing watches what you do. WHAT WAIT! KEEPS FOR YOU • Opens that stayed shut, counted — so you can watch the autopilot fade • Time saved: a plain 12 minutes for every open that didn't happen • Your guarded apps and sites in one place, ready to hand you back afterwards WAIT! PRO • Unlimited apps and websites. The free plan takes one of each, for as long as you like. • Push-ups instead of a breath: a set counted by your camera, or minutes earned one rep at a time • A task of its own for each app — a breath for Messages, push-ups for TikTok • Switching back: leave an app for a moment and come straight back without a new pause • Block adult content: Apple's Screen Time filter in every browser, with a five-week challenge that tapers you off, a complete block with no way through, and a streak of days without • The lock: someone you trust sets a six-digit code, and nothing in Wait! gets easier without it • Every new feature, the day it lands NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account, no ads, no analytics, no server. Wait! has no code for talking to the internet — your guarded apps, your figures and your settings stay on your iPhone. The camera counts push-ups on the device and records nothing. Wait! Pro comes monthly, yearly or as a single lifetime purchase, with family plans for up to six people through Family Sharing. Every subscription starts with a 7-day free trial and then renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings; Lifetime is a one-time purchase.
