You Don't Notice Until It Hurts

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 Notices Before You Do

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.

Long breaks

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.

Short breaks

Quick 20-second reminders to blink, breathe, or look away. Frequent enough to protect your eyes, short enough to not break your flow.

⏭️

Skip when needed

In the middle of something urgent? Hit skip. Pawse won't judge — it'll just come back next time.

🔒

Strict mode

For the days you can't trust yourself. Strict mode hides the skip button entirely. No escape. Your future self will thank you.

🖥️

Screen Takeover

When it's time for a break, Pawse gently takes over your screen so you can't ignore it.

⚙️

Fully Custom Rules

Set your own intervals, schedules, and preferences. Pawse adapts to the way you work.

🧠

Built for Focus

Designed to interrupt you at the right time without breaking your flow or concentration.

Health-First Habits

First-week tips

Daily tips for your first 7 days teach you the science behind breaks and how to make the most of Pawse.

Your body is sending you hints.
You're just ignoring them.

The research on screen fatigue, RSI, and focus is clear. Regular breaks aren't optional, they're the difference between a productive day and a wrecked one.

20–20–20

The eye health rule

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Pawse automates it so you never have to remember.

👁️
52/17

The focus ratio
