What makes Unpause different

Designed by physicians and user experience professionals, Unpause fuses two powerful neuroscientific principles: retrieval practice and the default effect. By recalling information during routine online activity, our learners expand the reach of their mind automatically and invisibly.

Children to adults

What makes Unpause different

The patented Unpause extension allows children to learn fundamental content while watching YouTube as easily as it enables adults to learn new languages while browsing websites. Just install and choose the learning bank for you.

What makes Unpause different

Pricing and privacy

Unpause extensions are free to install and use. Your learning patterns will not be commoditized and your individual privacy will remain secure.

Retrieval Practice

Retrieval Practice

Retrieval Practice

Actual science proves a better way to learn exists.  It's not watching videos, reading books, or listening to language tapes. It's simply answering questions, also known as retrieval practice. This theory has such a long academic history that medical schools now promote it to learn the vast amount of material needed to practice medicine. 


Unpause inserts questions into everyday enjoyments for you and your child, like videos or online activity, handing you the most powerful learning process known to educators. Completely free.

The Default Effect

Retrieval Practice

Retrieval Practice

Why doesn't everyone set aside time for retrieval practice, or even less efficient ways to learn? Every parent feels their child could be learning more. Every New Year's brings resolutions to learn new languages. The impossible step is making the decision to stop the day and start learning.


Unpause's answer to mental resistance is the default effect. The default effect is the psychological concept that choices automatically made for us are the choices we take. Unpause tailors periodic questions in videos and other online workflow to make learning an invisible benefit, not a hard choice.
