## Description

TouchNap is an innovative Chrome extension that enhances your power naps by waking you precisely before entering deep sleep. Unlike conventional nap timers that rely on fixed durations, TouchNap uses your own physical input to determine the optimal wake-up moment. By holding your phone and touching the screen with two fingers, the extension detects muscle relaxation — a signal that you are about to enter deep sleep. Once your fingers relax and release the screen, TouchNap triggers the alarm, ensuring you wake up refreshed and alert.

Handcrafted in Norway by Kwarkbit, TouchNap combines simple yet effective techniques for a personalized and smarter napping experience. Say goodbye to groggy awakenings and hello to rejuvenating short rests with TouchNap.

## Review summary

TouchNap is a unique and effective napping app praised for its simple yet brilliant concept and attractive design. Users appreciate how it helps achieve better naps and wake-ups. However, several report the 'End nap' button disappearing too quickly, difficulty in learning proper usage without visuals, and severe bugs like system-wide touch freezes forcing device reboots. Some also experience issues with Do Not Disturb disabling alarms after app closure. Overall, the concept is highly valued, but stability and usability improvements are needed.
