For your first year in a new country
For the first year abroad, when you wonder if you made a mistake.
The calls home where you say it's going great, and the Sunday afternoons when it isn't. Pausa is a place to say how it's actually going, and to see what's changing underneath.
Free to start on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Nobody warned you about the middle part. The paperwork is done, the novelty is gone, and you still don't have someone to call when something goes wrong. Some days the whole move feels like a mistake you can't admit to anyone back home.
Hard months and wrong decisions feel the same from inside a single week. They look different across three months of entries: whether the bad days are getting rarer, what they have in common, what you only mention when you are tired.
Pausa reads those entries back to you, so the question of whether to stay gets answered by what you actually wrote, and not by the worst Sunday.
What that looks like
Called Mom and told her everything's great. Then sat in the apartment all afternoon. Maybe moving here was a mistake. Everyone back home has their people.
Pausa, a few weeks of entries laterYou've called the move a mistake in five entries, all on Sundays. Your weekday entries since August mention the climbing gym, Inés, and a city that's starting to feel like yours.
An illustration. Pausa only works from what you write, so it gets sharper the more you do.
How it works
- 01
Get it out
Sunday afternoons, or after a call home. Say what you didn't say on the call.
- 02
It reads across weeks
One entry is just a bad day, but the same ending six times is a pattern. Pausa reads all of them, not just today's.
- 03
It says what it sees
Plainly, in a sentence or two. No streaks, no scores, and no pep talk when your own words say otherwise.
We'd rather lose you as a user than waste your time.
Write down how it is actually going.
