This update is all about helping you stay present, reminding you to Pause. Your day at a glance, a new Today view on your home screen shows your pauses, streak, and focus minutes in one calm place, so your progress is always front and centre. A gentle morning check‑in, start the day with a little intention. It's completely optional, turn it on or off anytime in Settings. We've streamlined onboarding so you can get to your first pause faster, with a clear recommended starting point. Quieter evenings, reminders now stay within daytime hours, so nothing pings you in the middle of the night. Thanks for pausing with us.

Scheduled Focus, now automatic. Your focus schedules now start on their own at the set time — even when PauseMate is closed and your phone is locked. When a session begins, distracting apps are locked behind a calm "Focus Mode" screen until it ends. Set it once and let it run. A warmer look. Refreshed visuals throughout for a calmer, more focused feel. Smoother and more reliable. Behind-the-scenes fixes so focus sessions start on time and stay in sync. Thanks for using PauseMate. Got feedback? We'd love to hear it.

Every interaction now feels more intentional. Stats roll smoothly so your progress feels alive, not static. The Soft Iris breathes with you during interventions, warming as you inhale, settling as you exhale. When you hit a streak milestone, the app celebrates with you proportionally to how far you've come. Your weekly audit reveals your story one stat at a time, turning a check-in into a moment of reflection. And every tap across the app now responds, nothing goes unacknowledged.

Calendar-Powered Focus Your calendar now drives your focus automatically: • Calendar Focus Sessions: auto-block distracting apps during events matching your keywords like "Deep Work" or "Focus". Set up in Focus > Calendar. • Post-meeting breathing: a gentle reminder after meetings end, right when the scroll impulse is strongest. • Tasks on Shield: see your pending Reminders when a shield appears. Redirect the urge to scroll into something useful. • Meeting Impact: your Weekly Audit now shows how nudge bypasses correlate with your calendar. OLED Dark Theme True black for OLED displays. Saves battery, easy on the eyes at night. Settings > Appearance > OLED.

Smoother onboarding, fewer interruptions before your first breath. Plus reliability improvements and better insights into how you use PauseMate so we can keep making it better.
