The record

Purpose: FacePause detects signs of screen fatigue using your face and nudges you to take breaks.
Detection: The product describes monitoring distance, eye variance, and head tilt to identify fatigue signals.
On-device processing: Camera frames are analyzed on the Mac and discarded, with no video recording or frames stored.
Network activity: The site says there are no network requests during monitoring.
Video-call behavior: FacePause releases the camera when another app needs it and resumes monitoring after the call.
Integrations: The site specifically names Zoom and Teams as video-call apps during which monitoring pauses.
Supported system: The product supports macOS 11 Big Sur and later on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
Not available for Windows: The site says FacePause is Mac-only for now and lists Windows as on the roadmap.
License: A license is personal and covers Macs the buyer owns or controls; one license is for one person.
Updates: Updates are included with the license, with no promised update cadence.
Refund: The refund policy offers a full refund within 30 days when the app does not work as described and the issue cannot be resolved.
Support: Support is provided by email at [email protected], with replies usually within 1–2 business days.
Privacy: The privacy policy says face and camera data remain on the Mac and are never transmitted to servers.
Website analytics: The privacy policy says the website uses self-hosted, cookieless Umami analytics and retains anonymous aggregated analytics for 12 months.
