Sanmai

Focus, softly. Sanmai is a calm Pomodoro-style timer crafted for Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and anyone who finds loud apps or busy designs exhausting. The interface is intentionally quiet: darker, unified colors, clear type, and gentle pacing—so your brain can settle and your work can flow. Many HSPs report that structured work sprints with short, regular breaks can support concentration; the Pomodoro approach is often recommended as a way to try this rhythm (without claiming it works for everyone). Sanmai offers a low-stimulus way to explore that routine. Why Sanmai feels different - Quiet by design: Minimal UI, unified dark palette, no visual clutter. - Soft or silent: Choose gentle ambient options (e.g., brown noise, rain, river, wind, waves). - Kind to your nervous system: Subtle reminders and smooth pacing; no jarring surprises. - Your rhythm, your rules: Set focus and break lengths to match your energy, and save presets for different tasks. - One-tap start: Begin a session quickly when motivation shows up. Made for sensitive workers - For those who prefer low sensory input and predictable cues. - For days when you need structure without pressure and progress without noise. How it helps (gently) - Short, time-boxed sprints can make starting easier. - Planned breaks can reduce over-stimulation and decision fatigue. - A calm surface lets you put attention where it belongs—on the work, not the app. Give yourself a quieter way to get things done—one small, kind sprint at a time. “Pomodoro®” is a registered trademark of Francesco Cirillo.
