Pause.do 0.2.5 - Breathing sounds, scroll sensitivity, and a 3-day free trial

Hey PH, we just shipped 0.2.5 and wanted to share what's new.

Breathing sounds

The breathing pause now plays ambient audio synced to each phase of the cycle (inhale, hold, exhale). Two tracks: a singing bowl that shifts harmonics with each phase, and procedurally-generated pink noise shaped like rainfall. You can mute or switch mid-session; your preference is saved.

Scroll sensitivity control

Scroll pauses were firing too aggressively for some people, particularly if you slow-read long articles. You can now pick Low / Medium / High sensitivity in Settings → Scroll Pauses. Low only fires on classic doom-scroll behaviour. High gives more frequent nudges. Medium is the existing default.

3-day free trial, no card

We added a proper trial, three full days, just an email address. A license key lands in your inbox, you paste it in, and you're done. At day 3, you see the prompt to go lifetime (£6.99). If not, it just goes quiet. Trial link: pause.do/buy-trial feels like a better thing to send someone than a purchase link.

Time tracking accuracy fix

Some users were seeing 4–6 hours on a single site in the attention map. The extension was counting a tab as "active" from when you opened it, even after you'd switched away, all open tabs accumulated time in parallel. Fixed: time tracking ends the moment you leave a tab. Historical entries stay as-is; everything from 0.2.5 forward will be accurate.

Coming soon: Tab Freeze
Once you're above your tab threshold, pause.do will identify which open tabs are consuming the most memory and freeze them, suspending background processes while keeping them visible and accessible. Tab stays in your bar, nothing is closed, but it's no longer eating memory or running scripts. Click it, and it wakes back up instantly.
