Today we’re releasing Lapse v1 for macOS and Windows. It’s been a long road from concept to shipped product, and we’re excited to finally put it in your hands.

What Is Lapse?

Lapse is a lightweight desktop app that tracks how your attention drifts throughout the day. It runs quietly in the background, noticing when you switch between apps—not to judge, but to help you see patterns you’d otherwise miss.

You meant to check Slack for one message. Twenty minutes later you’re deep in Instagram. Lapse catches those moments and shows them back to you, so you can decide what to do about them.

What’s in v1

  • Automatic attention tracking — Lapse detects app switches and idle time without you lifting a finger
  • Drift detection — See where your attention wanders and which apps pull you off course
  • Daily and weekly insights — Understand your patterns over time, not just in the moment
  • Privacy-first design — No screenshots, no keystrokes, no content. Just app names and timing
  • Cross-device sync — Track your patterns across your Mac and Windows machines

Available on Mac and Windows

Lapse v1 is a desktop app, built for the place where most of us do our deepest work (and most of our drifting). iOS and Android versions are coming soon.
