pause.do is a privacy-first browser extension that interrupts the moments when attention slips into autopilot, endless scrolling, tab overload, and even AI prompts. Instead of blocking websites, it creates small, intentional pauses that help you think first and decide what to do next. With pause types like Think First, Scroll Pause, Session Nudge, Focus Limit, and Tab Overload, pause.do helps you stay in control of your attention online.

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

I audited 2 months of my ChatGPT history. The results made me build something.

An MIT paper on LLM use recently caught my attention researchers found that regular use for simple tasks can measurably reduce cognitive engagement over time. There's a good discussion of it here:

So I went back through my own ChatGPT history out of curiosity.

A lot of "rewrite this sentence," "what's the word for X," "give me a synonym for Y." Things I already knew or would've figured out in a minute or two. I wasn't using AI as a tool. I was using it as a reflex.

Same with feeds opening Twitter with no intent, scrolling, closing, opening again with no memory of what I was looking for. My thumb was running the show.
