About

I'm Ali, founder of Calmsides, a small company building calm, well-crafted apps for focus and everyday life. My background is in philosophy and neuroscience, and I have spent years helping people and organizations through change as a business consultant. Before Calmsides, I made Notion templates as Doodables, downloaded more than 30,000 times. I care about attention, good design and products that respect the people who use them.

Pausean: Calm Focus Timer - Put your phone down, breathe

Pausean is a calm focus timer for iPhone. Set your minutes, turn your phone face down, and feel three slow breaths as your time begins. Every quiet stretch becomes a stone in your collection, and every duration shapes its own kind of stone. Need your phone? Pick it up. Your time keeps running for 60 seconds. No blocking, no streaks, no guilt. Just a quiet way to put your phone down and see what that time adds up to.
