Why breaks?

🎭

Three kinds of break

Micro breaks for eyes and posture, Long breaks for real rest, and a Sleep prompt during your bedtime window.

Why each kind matters

🤫

Knows when to stay quiet

Skips when Do Not Disturb is on, your camera is in use, you've gone idle, or you're outside your work hours. One borderless overlay per monitor when it does fire.

How the guards work

👤

Settings profiles

Save multiple named profiles and swap between them from the tray. Each carries its own intervals, hints, and sound.

Profiles overview

💭

Wellness hints, not nag screens

Each break shows one of a curated pool of prompts — physical stretches, breathing cues, social nudges. Mix the categories or rotate between them on a cadence you set.

Insights you can actually use
