Tempo

Tempo acts as a dedicated companion for users engaging in extended sessions with Claude (chat, Cowork, or Claude Code). It provides a unique approach to managing cognitive load with key features: • Tracks session duration from the first minute • Operates entirely locally with no network calls • Monitors interaction patterns without reading content • Offers timely, non-disruptive resets during natural pauses • Supports macOS, Linux, and WSL environments This application observes the 'shape' of your interactions—such as word count, error rates, and repeated actions—to identify patterns indicating potential mental fatigue. It learns your baseline behavior over time, recognizing when your engagement shifts towards stress or frustration. Rather than interrupting your focus, Tempo discreetly suggests a 40-second physiological sigh during a natural break in your work, like after a task completion or a command execution. Designed for individuals who spend significant time interacting with large language models, particularly developers, writers, and researchers. Tempo aims to enhance productivity and well-being by providing timely prompts for short, science-backed resets. It's ideal for anyone looking to maintain sustained focus and avoid burnout in demanding digital work environments, ensuring continuous optimal performance.
