Deep work stays quiet

VibePause is your focus co-pilot. It watches long coding sessions, suggests practical breaks, and helps you return with more clarity.
The real problem
The hard part is not taking breaks. It is noticing the moment before flow turns into strain.
VibePause watches your signals so you don't have to.

FAQ
The quiet details matter.
What is VibePause?
A privacy-first macOS menu bar companion for developers. It watches coding sessions, suggests practical breaks, and helps you protect deep work.
Is VibePause free?
Yes. Free includes the session timer, local eye and posture nudges, tip reminders, idle detection, and today's session stats. Pro adds hydration reminders, Quiet Hours, guided breaks, full history, AI nudges, themes, and custom tones.
What coding apps does VibePause detect?
We work across editors and tools you already use by reading activity signals - not your code.
Does VibePause store my data?
Core session history stays on your Mac. We minimize server data, never sell personal data, and let you export or delete anytime.
How do AI nudges work?
Pro AI nudges use limited context such as session duration, category, tone, language, and optional city or weather context. They fall back to local templates when unavailable.
What platforms does VibePause support?
VibePause currently supports macOS 14 and newer. Windows and Linux are not launch platforms.
