Frequently asked

Common questions

How much does Pausly cost?

$0.99, one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Pay once, own it forever.

Does it collect my data?

No. All data is stored locally on your Mac. Nothing is ever sent to external servers. No accounts required.

Why does it need Accessibility permission?

To detect which app you're currently using, so it can track your time and power the Distraction Guard feature. It does not record keystrokes, capture screenshots, or access file contents.

Which macOS versions are supported?

Pausly requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

How do I delete my data?

Delete the folder at ~/Library/Application Support/PauslyTracker/. Uninstalling the app alone does not remove your data.
