Long hours in front of a screen can lead to eye strain, headaches, fatigue, and poor posture. Pawse sends an adorable pet to take over your screen when it's time for a break, helping you rest your eyes, stretch, breathe, and move throughout the day.
You sit down at 9 AM. The next time you check the clock, it's 1 PM.
You've been staring at your screen for hours without a single break.
No blinking reminder. No stretch. No moment to stand up and reset.
At first, everything feels fine. Then come the dry eyes, the tension headaches, the stiff neck, the blurred vision, and the feeling that your brain is running on empty. By the time you notice, the damage is already done.
Studies show that 90% of people who work 3+ hours on screens experience eye strain
The worst part? You know breaks help. You just get absorbed in your work and forget to take them.
Pawse runs quietly in the background and steps in when it's time for a break. An adorable pet takes over your screen and reminds you to rest your eyes, stretch, breathe, and move.
You set the schedule. Pawse handles the reminders.
No timers to watch. No habits to build. No willpower required.
Just healthier breaks, automatically.
A full screen takeover with your pet. Choose how long (1–15 min) and how often (every 30–120 min). Real rest, on your terms.
Quick 20-second reminders to blink, breathe, or look away. Frequent enough to protect your eyes, short enough to not break your flow.
In the middle of something urgent? Hit skip. Pawse won't judge — it'll just come back next time.
For the days you can't trust yourself. Strict mode hides the skip button entirely. No escape. Your future self will thank you.
When it's time for a break, Pawse gently takes over your screen so you can't ignore it.

Designed to interrupt you at the right time without breaking your flow or concentration.
Encourages you to blink, stretch, breathe, and move to reduce eye strain, headaches, and fatigue.
