A five-minute break your team takes together
Pauso is a guided breathing session your team opens from one link in a recurring calendar invite.
Team room
Four in, six out
In for four, out for six.
What a session is like
- Five minutes
- A voice guides the breathing from start to end. Nobody has to lead it.
- In the browser
- Everyone opens the same link at the same time. Nothing to install.
- No camera, no talking
- People follow the voice and a breathing shape on the screen.
- Optional
- It is a calendar invite like any other. Anyone who would rather not can decline it.
About 15 minutes a week
Three sessions of five minutes a week, at a time that suits the team. It goes in the calendar as a recurring invite, so nobody has to remember it.
Free for up to 10 people
Free covers one room for up to 10 people, as often as you like, with no card. Every workspace also starts with 14 days of Team. Plans are priced per workspace, never per seat. See pricing
What stays private
After a session, each person can say how they feel compared with before. That answer is private: it is never shown to managers or to teammates.
What the research says

These studies are about short breaks and practising with others in general. Pauso itself has not been studied.
