Look after the body
that does the work.

Pauzeit turns long hours at the screen into a steady rhythm of small recoveries — for your eyes, your posture, and your breath.

The slow stuff

Strain never announces itself.
It just accumulates.

Nothing hurts at 2pm. It shows up as the late-afternoon ache, the tired eyes, the hunch you can't shake. Three things quietly add up.

5–7 blinks / min

Tired eyes

Focused on one thing, too close, for too long. Your blink rate drops and the eyes dry out.

the forward lean

Drifting posture

The head creeps toward the screen, hour by hour. The neck and shoulders carry the cost.

shallow & constant

A wired system

Task after task with no pause between. Breathing stays shallow; the body never resets.

Inside a break

Four ways to come back.

Breathe

A guided ring paces a slow box breath. The nervous system settles in under a minute.

Rest the eyes

Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. The focusing muscle relaxes and the blink rate resets.

Stretch

One gentle move at a time — spine, shoulders, wrists. Undo the static hold of sitting.

Reset posture

Ears over shoulders, screen at eye level, feet down. A single cue to sit tall again.

Smart Pause

It waits until you're free.

A break should never land mid-sentence. Pauzeit listens for an active microphone — and quietly holds until the call is over.

counting
All clear. The break runs on schedule.
Any app, no setup.
Teams, Zoom, Meet, Discord, a browser call — it watches the mic, not a list of supported apps.
Never interrupts.
While you're talking, the break holds — and begins the moment you hang up.
One switch.
Turn it on once and forget it. Recording or a quick huddle simply pauses the timer.
Quiet by design

Set it once.
Then forget it's there.

No dashboard, no streaks, no login. A handful of settings, then it lives in the tray and only appears when it's time to rest.

"My eyes used to ache by 4pm. A week in, that's just… gone. I don't even think about it anymore."

"It has never once interrupted a client call. It just waits. That detail is why I kept it."
