Privacy policy

Paussible is private by design. It works entirely on your device.

What Paussible stores

Your pauses — which pauses you took and when, so the app can show them in your history.

Stored on device only.

Your journal — the notes you write and Koji's replies. Stored on device only.
Your affirmations — likes, your own words, and favourites. Stored on device only.
Your settings — name (optional), theme, reminder times, PIN. The PIN is stored only as a

salted hash; the PIN itself never leaves your device.

Lock choices — whether a note, or the whole journal, is behind your PIN. Stored on device

only.

What Paussible does not do

No analytics. Nothing about your usage is measured, reported, or sold.
No ads. No trackers, no third-party SDKs that phone home.
Offline-first. Every feature works fully offline — an account is optional, never asked

for, and never required.

No ads. No trackers, no third-party SDKs that phone home.

Speech recognition

"Say It Aloud" listens so Paussible can confirm you read your affirmation. Recognition runs on your device only — your voice never leaves the phone, and no audio is recorded or stored.

Permissions Paussible asks for

Notifications — for the gentle pause reminders you scheduled.
Alarms — so reminders arrive at the minute you chose.
Microphone (optional) — only while you hold "HOLD & SPEAK", on-device only.

Your data, your call

Export: Settings → export my data — everything as a file you keep.
Delete: Settings → delete my data — three steps, then everything is gone. Uninstalling

the app also removes all of it. Nothing is kept anywhere else.

This website

paussible.com is a static site. It sets no tracking cookies, loads no third-party scripts, and collects nothing. The site also caches its own pages and files on your device so repeat visits load almost instantly (and it keeps working offline); everything stays local. The optional ambient music is synthesised live on your device — nothing is streamed, recorded, or sent. Your theme, mode and sound choices live in your browser's local storage on your own device, and leave it never. On a first visit, your browser may ask ipapi.co once for your rough country — only so the site can offer itself in your language; the lookup is anonymous and builds no profile.

If you switch on an optional account

Accounts exist for one thing: a private backup that follows you to a new phone. Sign in with Google and a copy of your pauses, journal and notes is stored in your own private row — protected so that only you can ever read it, carried over an encrypted connection, and used for nothing else. There are no emails from it, no profile pages, no social anything.

You can turn it off any time by signing out — the app stays complete, because the backup is a copy, not a move. And everything in the section above still holds: no analytics, no ads, nothing sold, nothing shared.
