Cross‑platform break reminders with a gentle two‑phase approach.
Free · Open source · Cross‑platform
Gentle break reminder that helps you avoid mindlessly skipping breaks Two‑phase reminders (subtle flash → expanded break), keyboard & tray controls, and privacy‑first defaults.
  • Two‑phase break system: subtle flash first, full screen if ignored.
  • No prominent skip/postpone buttons — use tray/menu to delay breaks intentionally.
  • Clean UI, minimal memory usage.

Two‑phase reminders

First a subtle flash, then an expanded break window if you remain active — encourages real rest without accidental skipping.

Privacy & simplicity

No telemetry, local configuration, and intentionally minimal UI to avoid distraction.
