About the Project
Ultradian rhythm research shows the brain completes a high-performance window every 90-120 minutes before entering a 15-20 minute low-energy phase. Most productivity apps ignore this biological reality. Pause adopts it as a core design principle.
The Screen Time API detects that a work session has started from active app usage. When 90 minutes is complete, a 2-minute break guide begins: the 20-20-20 eye exercise, neck stretches, box breathing. Each step is shown with a 40-second full-screen animation. Focus Filter integration automatically activates Pause whenever the "Work" focus mode is on.
Live Activity shows the active counter on Dynamic Island and warns ahead of time as a break approaches. The daily stats screen summarizes missed breaks, average work duration, and completed eye exercises.
