Is Pause free?
Pause is free to download. Access to guided movement, breathing, calming scenes and reminders requires a Pause account and an active Pause Plus subscription from your first break: US $4.99/month or $12.99 every three months. There is no free trial. Payment starts only when you choose a plan and confirm the purchase with Apple. Apple handles the billing, so you cancel in iPhone Settings and refund requests go to Apple.

Part of Workplace stretching, the Pause workplace stretching series.
Before your first break
Download Pause, choose a plan and sign in with Apple, Google or email. Confirm your subscription with Apple to access guided breaks. Existing subscribers can sign in and restore purchases. The written guides on this website remain free to read.
What Pause Plus includes
Pause Plus keeps the full library open: the three curated routines (Desk reset, Stay seated and Stretch + walk), all eleven individual movements, both breathing practices, and the optional workday reminders. Routines are bundled with the app, so they keep working offline once your subscription is active.
Why we say the price before you download
One of the most common complaints in stretching app reviews is “it says free but you can’t do anything without paying.” We would rather you know the price here, on this page, than find it out after a download. The App Store shows the same pricing before any purchase, and Apple manages the subscription.
Common questions
Does downloading Pause start a subscription?
No. A Pause Plus subscription begins only when you choose a plan and confirm the purchase with Apple. Guided breaks require an active subscription.
Do I need a Pause account?
Yes. A Pause account and an active subscription are required to use guided breaks. You can sign in with Apple, Google or email and restore your subscription on another iPhone.
Is there a free trial?
No. Pause Plus is a paid subscription from the first break. The price and billing period appear before you confirm with Apple.
Who handles billing and refunds?
Apple. Pause Plus is an App Store subscription, so the charge appears from Apple, you cancel it in iPhone Settings under your Apple Account, and refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Pause cannot issue or refuse App Store refunds itself.
