## What is TapPause?

No pressure. No tracking. No goals.

TapPause is a calm break app for moments of stress, mental overload, and screen fatigue.

With a single tap, you can step away from notifications, scrolling, and constant input for a few quiet minutes — helping your mind slow down and reset.

Designed for people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or mentally exhausted, TapPause creates a small space to breathe without pressure, routines, or productivity goals.

Features:
• One-tap timer for short mental breaks
• Adjustable break duration (1–30 min)
• Calm, distraction-free design
• Optional sound and haptic feedback
• In-app language support
• Offline & privacy-first (no ads, no tracking)

TapPause is not a habit tracker or productivity system.

It is simply a quieter moment between everything else.
