Pawse

About

pawse — a tiny focus pet for your browser

Pawse rests quietly in the corner of the page while you work. The moment you go idle, it springs to life with a playful, reversible effect — then puts everything back the instant you move, type, or scroll. Take a breath, then get back to it.

Fully reversible — your page is never harmed
Every effect only animates a transparent overlay on top of the page. Nothing is deleted, nothing is submitted, and your content snaps back exactly as it was the moment you interact again. Idle delay is adjustable from 6 seconds to 5 minutes.

15 hand-crafted effects

Free:
• Event Horizon — a black hole drifts in and slowly pulls the page inward
• Inkworm — caterpillars crawl across and nibble the words away
• Ant Parade — ants carry your text off to their nest
• First Snow — a gentle snowfall blankets the page

Pro:
• Twister • Washed Away • Autumn Drift • Cannonade • Air Raid • Burrow • Sticky Tongue • Clean Slate • Overgrowth • Meteor Shower • Northern Lights
• Surprise Me — a different random effect every time you open a page

Privacy first — zero data collection
Pawse does not collect, track, transmit, or sell any personal data. It has no analytics and no accounts. Your browsing stays entirely on your device; the only thing saved is your own settings, stored locally in your browser.
