Who it is for
For people who look up and realize hours have passed
Catnap is designed for sustained screen work where ordinary alarms quickly become noise.
Meeting-heavy days
People whose schedules change throughout the day and need reminders that can pause or become less intrusive.
Long screen sessions
Anyone who wants a practical cue to rest their eyes, move their body, and return with a clearer mind.
A better timer
Your reminder should follow attention, not the clock
A fixed countdown keeps running through lunch, locked screens, and time away. Catnap counts active use, pauses when the computer is not being used, and begins a fresh cycle after a long absence.
Count
Only active screen use advances the work cycle.
Pause
Locked, sleeping, and idle time are left out.
Reset
After 30 minutes away, the next session starts fresh.
Core experience
Enough structure to help, enough flexibility to stay out of the way
Catnap adapts to the kind of day you are having instead of forcing every session into one rigid routine.
Flexible timing
Choose work, break, and later-reminder durations that fit your own pace.
Context-aware modes
Meeting mode pauses reminders. Immersive mode replaces the full-screen break with a gentle notification.
Rest that feels intentional
Use full-screen templates for eye rest, slow breathing, stretching, or a quiet pause across every connected display.
Private recovery feedback
Review today and the last seven days to see whether you are leaving enough space between focused sessions.
Fits the moment
One rhythm does not fit every workday
Switch modes from the menu bar without rebuilding your settings.
Normal rhythm
A full-screen break appears when active work time reaches your chosen limit.
Meeting mode
Timing and reminders pause until you return to normal rhythm.
Immersive mode
A quiet notification protects concentration while still giving you a recovery cue.
Privacy promise

Clear answers when the rhythm feels off
Most behavior can be understood or changed directly from Catnap settings.
01Why did the timer stop?
Locked, sleeping, idle, and excluded-app time do not count. Meeting mode also pauses the timer.
02Why did a new cycle begin?
When you return after being away for 30 minutes or longer, Catnap treats it as a new work session.
03Can I avoid a full-screen break?
Yes. Choose Immersive mode for a gentle notification, or Meeting mode to pause reminders.
04How do I remove recovery data?
Open Settings, choose Recovery, and select Clear recovery data. The records are removed from the current device.
