Automatic work break reminders that stop burnout
Sit at a computer all day? Let the timer tell you when to get up.
Hours at the screen add up quietly. Our free work break timer interrupts the drift: every 25 minutes you get a notification, then a 5-minute break with a message designed to revitalize your mind and body.
How the break timer works:
• Work until the notification fires (default: every 25 minutes)
• The break screen appears with a message to reset your focus
• Move around, stretch, look away from the screen
• When the 5 minutes are up, you're back at your task
• Customizable work and rest intervals to fit your day
• Work until the notification fires (default: every 25 minutes)
• The break screen appears with a message to reset your focus
• Move around, stretch, look away from the screen
• When the 5 minutes are up, you're back at your task
• Customizable work and rest intervals to fit your day
Why it matters: burnout rarely announces itself — it arrives as many unbroken hours. Regular micro breaks keep you healthy and productive for the long haul, and the timer does the remembering so you don't have to willpower it. Push notifications make sure the reminder reaches you even when the tab is in the background.
