Reminds you to take regular breaks from the screen, with gentle chimes and a break countdown.

Good to know

Turn on notifications to be reminded even when this tab is in the background.

The timer keeps counting breaks, so you can see how many you took today.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is recorded, stored on a server or tracked, and there are no ads here.

Questions

How long should a screen break be?

Common advice is a short break every 30 to 60 minutes. Use what fits your work; even two minutes of standing helps many people.

Will it work in the background?

Yes. Timing continues in a background tab, and the chime or notification tells you when a break starts.
