A Studjoow project
Two minutes of rest, between two quotes
Comparing quotes, following up with a caterer, filling out a guest spreadsheet: it is all done sitting down, often late at night. Pause Focus is a free timer that breaks up the day and suggests the two-minute exercise that matches what is actually wearing you out.

What exactly is it?
Pause Focus is a free desktop app for macOS and Windows that splits the day into work sessions and real breaks. At each break, it asks what is tiring you, your eyes, your neck, your back, your energy, or your mood, and suggests one of 60 guided, illustrated exercises that fits, doable seated in two minutes with no equipment. No data ever leaves your computer.
