Breaks and debriefs

Step away.

One intention for the day, a break on the hour, and a short debrief at the end.

Sanatori waits for a pause before it asks you to step away. Choose a break, and your screens lower into a calm rest screen until it is over.

The day has an arc.

Each moment has its own sky, so a glance tells you where you are in your day.

  1. Morning

    One thing today.

    At 7:00 by default, or when you return after it, Sanatori asks for one intention. Keep last night's or write a new one, then begin the day.

  2. On the hour

    Step away.

    Sanatori waits for 30 seconds without input, and holds its prompts through calls, presentations and video. The default break is already chosen. Return starts it.

  3. Evening

    Close the day.

    The debrief shows how long the day ran, the share of it spent away, and the past seven days. Set tomorrow's intention, then close the day.

  4. Closed

    Day closed.

    Tomorrow's intention is saved. The morning screen opens with it, ready to keep or change.

The rest screen.

During a break, every display lowers into the blue hour. A bell rings once when the time is up.
