Can software feel calm?

I keep returning to the feeling—the exhale moment when a tool disappears and I can think again.

I keep returning to the feeling—the exhale moment when a tool disappears and I can think again. Calm is not empty. It is clarity without pressure.

Maybe software cannot feel anything, but it can create the conditions for us to feel more like ourselves. I am interested in interfaces that hold attention lightly and make their logic visible.
