Sanmai

Focus, softly.
Sanmai is a calm Pomodoro-style timer crafted for Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and anyone who finds loud apps or busy designs exhausting. The interface is intentionally quiet: darker, unified colors, clear type, and gentle pacing—so your brain can settle and your work can flow.

Many HSPs report that structured work sprints with short, regular breaks can support concentration; the Pomodoro approach is often recommended as a way to try this rhythm (without claiming it works for everyone). Sanmai offers a low-stimulus way to explore that routine.

Why Sanmai feels different
- Quiet by design: Minimal UI, unified dark palette, no visual clutter.
- Soft or silent: Choose gentle ambient options (e.g., brown noise, rain, river, wind, waves).
- Kind to your nervous system: Subtle reminders and smooth pacing; no jarring surprises.
- Your rhythm, your rules: Set focus and break lengths to match your energy, and save presets for different tasks.
- One-tap start: Begin a session quickly when motivation shows up.

Made for sensitive workers
- For those who prefer low sensory input and predictable cues.
- For days when you need structure without pressure and progress without noise.

How it helps (gently)
- Short, time-boxed sprints can make starting easier.
- Planned breaks can reduce over-stimulation and decision fatigue.
- A calm surface lets you put attention where it belongs—on the work, not the app.

Give yourself a quieter way to get things done—one small, kind sprint at a time.
