It seems that meditation apps are the new to-do apps. Everyone's making one. That said, PAUSE's approach is much different from the others I've seen. I'm interested to give it a try, especially since ustwo is behind it (they make rad things).

Just played with Pause, this is fantastic. Instead of just a voice guiding you (such as Calm or Headspace) where it's still easy for your mind to wander, Pause gives your motor cortex something to focus on - I have to physically do something, albeit very minimal. Will be replacing Calm with Pause for a week or so to explore the difference it makes to my meditation.

Mediation or meditation? Title above =)

I like it so far! Super simple, but it did calm me down when my mind was racing.

Relaxation and mediation? Doesn't sound that relaxing.

Woah, what a unique idea. Definitely downloading this. Thanks for sharing @rrhoover.

This app is pretty cool. Here's my story on its creation and a little of the science behind it: http://www.techinsider.io/pause-...

Love this, @fredrikvvallin. Any plans for an Android version?

there is something supremely unique about the interaction on this app. it feels slightly unnerving to be caressing my phone with my eyes closed, but once i let go of that feeling, it truly was calming.

Wow this is exactly what I needed. I try to use Calm every morning and evening, and I love it, but it's too much of commitment to use in the middle of the day, and I only end up using at home in a quiet, dim room, no distractions, etc. This allows me to get into the zone (albeit not as deep, but that's ok!) with the stressful hurdle of having to have the environment be perfect for meditation. I was instantly drawn into the experience, the colors and sounds are super calming, and when it told me to close my eyes I was really excited for this app. It not only tricks you into being able to take a quick mindfulness trip in the middle of the day, but the set up -- going from the physical / visual of tracing with your finger -- is perfect for putting you in the mood for a quick meditation session. I might even use this as a set up for Calm in the mornings.

It is really interesting to see how they translated their research into a product. I would love to see where they started and how many iterations it took before landing on this approach. Very unique.

love, love, love this.

Love the idea!!

so whats the difference between this and Calm @fredrikvvallin?

Will give it a try!

Whenever ustwo creates anything I get excited. They're a talented team of devs and creators. Hope this comes to Android, but I know how ustwo feels about us folk. :(

Going to give this a bash. I've tried a few meditation/relaxation apps and haven't had much success. This looks like a fresh approach worth trying..

Bought this today, loving it!

Sold!

Going to give 'Calm' a rest and try this. Finally got into the habit of morning meditation
