Interruption Resume Studio

The 30 seconds you spend capturing context before you switch tasks is worth more than the 10 minutes you spend reconstructing it afterward.

Interruption Resume Studio is a native desktop app that captures a structured snapshot of your cognitive state the moment you get interrupted — current task, progress, next planned step, energy level, and open questions. When you return, a Resume Card surfaces everything you need to re-enter flow without reconstructing it from scratch. A global shortcut (Cmd+Shift+Space) opens a lightweight overlay from any app without breaking your current context.

The app also tracks interruption patterns over time: daily timeline, interruption log with time-lost estimates, and weekly insights broken down by interruption type, energy state, hour of day, and day of week.

Features

• Snapshot capture — structured form captures task, progress, next step, energy, and open questions in under 30 seconds
• Resume Cards — on return, a card surfaces the full context snapshot so you re-enter flow immediately
• Global shortcut — Cmd+Shift+Space opens an overlay window without leaving your current app
• Day timeline — visual timeline of snapshots showing interruption gaps throughout the day
• Interruption log — quantified time lost per session
• Weekly insights — breakdowns by interruption type (meeting, Slack, personal, other), energy state, hour, and day
• Native overlay — uses tauri-nspanel for proper fullscreen overlay behavior on macOS

Tech Stack

Layer	Technology
Desktop shell	Tauri 2 (tauri-plugin-global-shortcut, tauri-nspanel)
Frontend	React 19, TypeScript 5, Tailwind CSS 4, Radix UI, Zustand, TanStack Query
Backend	Rust 1.82+, SQLite via sqlx
Type safety	specta + tauri-specta for generated TypeScript bindings
Testing	Vitest, Testing Library

Architecture

All snapshot data is stored in a local SQLite database via sqlx. The Rust backend handles persistence and pattern aggregation; the React frontend handles capture forms, resume cards, and analytics views. TypeScript bindings are generated from Rust types via specta, giving compile-time safety across the bridge. The overlay window is a separate Tauri window using tauri-nspanel so it renders above fullscreen apps on macOS.
