One shake to break the paralysis cycle.

System Interrupt is a mobile app for the moment you're most stuck — when you're overwhelmed, can't choose where to start, and end up retreating to easy dopamine instead. Designed with neurodivergent users in mind.

1. Shake your phone (or tap the button) to trigger the interrupt
2. Breathe — a guided breathing animation brings you back into your body
3. Get unstuck — an AI coach looks at your task list and gives you one small, concrete next step

Built at a hackathon. Inspired by the very real experience of task paralysis — and the need for something that requires almost zero effort to activate when you're already stuck.
