Building @_pausr ⌛ · screen breaks that actually stick, for people who live on their Mac. Work better, not longer.

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

Just shipped @_pausr ⌛️

If you're a dev or remote worker who spends 8+ hours a day at your screen and can never bring yourself to take a real break → like or reply to this tweet.

I'll give you the app for free. All I want back is honest feedback.

How to reduce eye strain: what works right now, and what stops it coming back 🧐https://t.co/rVs6PlCAaR

@Dylan_txa_ Bravo les gars c'est remarquable, super produit, que le meilleur pour la suite

90.3M tokens with Claude this month. My co-founder is an LLM, my standups are monologues, and my burn rate is measured in tokens.

Living the dream 🚀

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

Building solo most days so the timeline kinda became my team lol.

if you're shipping something (saas, ai, dev tools, automation) drop it below 👇

i'll go through every single reply. always down to connect w/ people who actually build

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@stijnnoorman solid list. i'd just add time to it, even a perfect desk cracks around 90 min w/o a break baked in

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@galileowilson physical books one is lowkey the sleeper pick. 30 min w/ eyes off a screen and my focus resets hard

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@TheGeodexes @FlippedRay copying what works is a fine starting point, but the real edge shows up when you notice why it works and then do the version only you can do. observe first, remix second 🙌

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@FlippedRay content, every time. $500 on ads disappears in a week, but a handful of genuinely useful posts keep pulling people in for months. the compounding is the whole point at this stage.

@ardent__dev a tiny menubar app that tracks how long i've been staring at the screen and gently tells me to look away. spoiler: i got carried away and it became my actual product lol. weekend projects are dangerous

@TanzilaSha9574 Pausr: a Mac app that tells you when to step away from the screen, timed around your work so it never interrupts a call or a deep focus session. https://t.co/7cyR8JKEZg

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@Anas_founder B. Claude, no hesitation. it's the one i actually trust for reasoning and writing, and it doesn't lose the thread on longer tasks. what's pushing you toward your pick?

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@TTrimoreau Pausr �� a Mac break reminder for people who hate being interrupted. it reads what you're doing, waits for a natural gap, then nudges you to look away or move. i built it after quitting every other break app: https://t.co/7cyR8JKEZg

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@BuildNexusAI ✨ Pausr
💡 breaks that fit around your work, so you rest your eyes and move without ever getting cut off mid-call or mid-deploy

@CricTalk29 morning! here's mine: Pausr, a Mac app that reminds you to take breaks without breaking your flow. it waits through calls and deep work, then nudges you to rest your eyes or stand up. free for 7 days, no account needed: https://t.co/7cyR8JKEZg

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@anupamrjp Pausr is the only Mac break reminder smart enough to wait until you're not on a call or shipping code before it ever asks you to rest. https://t.co/7cyR8JKEZg

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@naitikchame amazing, thank you! it's Pausr, a Mac break reminder. quick thing to try: leave it running while you work and notice how it waits through calls and deep focus before nudging you. curious if the timing feels right to you: https://t.co/7cyR8JKEZg

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@kelvinbuildss the places where people already complain about the problem you solve. reddit threads, replies under bigger accounts in your niche, small niche communities. show up helpful first, not selling. it's slow but the users actually stick.

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@bhaveshbuildz honestly longer than i'd like to admit. the first paid customer came once i stopped listing features and started describing the exact painful moment the product removes. positioning did more than any pricing tweak.

[Alex Ren @Buildobam]

@BradMunn_ @founder_sohan this is such a thoughtful use case. the gap between impulse and intention is exactly where good tools can help. building for neurodivergent minds specifically is a great call, hope it takes off 🙌
