Take mindful screen breaks automatically (Mac App)
💬 What is BreakReminder? BreakReminder is a lightweight menu bar app that reminds you to take short screen breaks — because your eyes, brain, and posture deserve it. It gently pauses your screen at custom intervals (default: every 20 minutes) and shows a calm full-screen message: “Time to take a break 👀” You can snooze for 5 minutes or skip if you’re in focus mode — it’s your flow, your choice. 🌿 Why it matters We all know the feeling — deep into work, hours pass, and suddenly your eyes sting, your shoulders ache, and your brain’s foggy. That’s where the 20-20-20 rule helps: - Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. - BreakReminder helps you actually do it — automatically. ⚙️ Features ✅ Customizable break interval ✅ Minimal, native macOS design (Swift + SwiftUI) ✅ Snooze or skip when you’re focused ✅ Simple preferences — just works ✅ Built around the science-backed 20-20-20 rule ✅ No data collection. No fluff. Just you and your break timer. 💡 Perfect For - Developers, designers, and writers - Remote workers and students - Anyone who spends long hours in front of a screen
