Built for quiet measurement.
Low-impact sensing
PaceBar reads the timing and frequency of interaction events to estimate load without recording what you type or see.
Steady modeling
Local modeling turns your working rhythm into a quiet readout you can check at a glance.
Adaptive baseline
PaceBar learns your working rhythm over time, adjusting the gauge to your normal pace instead of a generic threshold.
Small prompts, only when useful.
Use the headroom
When load is low and focus is stable, protect the next block for the work that matters.
Reset briefly
When the session gets heavy, PaceBar can nudge you to step away for a few minutes and return to one task.
Made for parallel work
AI tools make it easier to run several threads at once. PaceBar helps you see when that extra parallelism starts raising your pace.
