Counts time away as a break.

Stepped away for coffee? Your next break adjusts automatically.

More than just break reminders.

Blink reminders when screen staring reduces your blink rate. Posture nudges based on active work time. Typing strain alerts based on your activity.

Pauses for meetings and media.

Calls, recordings, video playback. It detects them all and adjusts your next break automatically.

Designed to stay private.

No Accessibility permission

Works without invasive system access. Nothing reads your screen or monitors your input.

Completely local

All processing stays on your Mac. No analytics, no tracking, no cloud sync, no accounts.

Works offline

Internet is only used for license validation and update checks. Everything else runs locally.

Fully customizable.

Break screens, wallpapers, messages, timing, durations, working hours, enforcement level. Every control is yours.

What people are saying.

“Without invasive permissions doing a lot of work in this tagline, and honestly it's the right lead. Half these tools die at the permissions screen.”

Sakshit Bhan

“The waits for the right moment instead of a hard timer framing is the right instinct. Most break apps get uninstalled exactly because they interrupt a call.”

Gal Dayan

“I usually get annoyed by break reminders, ignore them and end up focusing even harder. Checking whether I'm actually deep in something already sounds much better.”

Etienne Garcia
