Most "mindfulness" or "focus" apps felt too heavy. They have streaks, gamification, ads, or complex onboarding. They felt like more "noise" to manage.

So I built TapPause. It’s a 5–30 minute timer designed to be a "circuit breaker."

Key constraints I set for myself:

No Tracking: I don't want to know how many times I paused. No data to optimize.

Zero Friction: No accounts, no "plans," just a tap to start.

Intentionality: It’s not a Pomodoro timer. It’s a tool to help you transition between tasks or just reclaim your headspace.

It’s a small, opinionated tool built for my own needs. I’d love to hear how others here manage their "digital downtime" and if you think we’ve over-engineered the simple act of taking a break.
