PauseLoop focus settings on macOS

Your day, in intervals

A workday that knows
when to let go.

Choose your focus window, keep short breaks light, and let longer rests arrive after a rhythm you define.

Focus20minutes
Short break30seconds
Long break10minutes

Every fourth focus, make room for a deeper reset.

One app. Three quiet controls.

Set the rhythm once.

PauseLoop stays in the menu bar and gets out of your way. Adjust the parts that matter, then return to your work.

PauseLoop focus settings

Shape focus, short breaks, long breaks, and active hours around the way you actually work.

When the break arrives

Every screen goes quiet.
You can too.

A calm full-screen pause appears on every connected display. Choose an atmosphere color or your own wallpaper, and return when the countdown is ready.

Present when useful.
Invisible when not.
