Insights
A short weekly read of when you actually stopped, and how the week felt while you were in it.
Most of what is useful about tracking how you feel is not the number. It is noticing something you already half-knew — that Wednesday afternoons are consistently the worst, that you have checked in as tired eleven times this month, that the evenings you took ten minutes went differently from the ones you did not.
Insights is built for that and stops there.
What a week looks like
Two screens, and no configuration.
The weekly view covers the ordinary questions: which days you made space, how the week's check-ins broke down by mood, what time of day you tended to stop, and how the pauses split between breathing and focus.
Alongside it sits a short written recap of the week — a couple of sentences, not a report.
What it deliberately does not do
An app that wanted your evenings would put a graph on the home screen and something to improve underneath it. That is a straightforward way to turn a few quiet minutes into a performance you can fail at.
- No goals to hit, and no score for the week.
- No comparison against other people.
- Nothing that treats a week with fewer pauses in it as a failure. Some weeks do not need them.
The intended relationship with this screen is occasional. If you are looking at it often, it has stopped doing its job.
What it is built from
Insights is assembled from mood check-ins and session records — the mood you picked and when, and the type, length and completion of the pauses you took.
Your journal is not part of it. Journal entries stay on your device unless you turn on the optional backup, and journal content is never sent to an AI provider. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what is stored and what is not.
A weekly rhythm, not a dashboard.
Check in when you open Pause, and after a week or two there is something worth glancing at.
