United StatesYou deserved a break, don't work too hard. Use 'Take a break' to remind you to take regular breaks that help you relieve eye strain. - As the doctor mentions, every 20 minutes spent using a screen, look away at something that is 20 feet away for a total of 20 seconds. - Optionally take a 5 mins stand up break every hour. - Automatically lock screen, we make you a break you can't refuse. - Sound when break ends, look away from the screen with an easy mind. - Countdown in menu bar, focus at both break and work Take a Break, take care of yourself while working hard.
Good
Don't know why not many people use this
United StatesComment for the newest version
I understand that some users might want the new feature of automatically pausing the timer when watching a video, but I personally do not want this feature (a big part of take a break to me is to prevent watching videos for too long). Would love to see this feature being made optional in a newer version. Thank you so much!!
United StatesWorked great in Catalina, White Screen in Monterey
The app worked great in OS Catalina and I paid for the Pro version. After I upgraded to OS Monterey, it shows a blinding white screen instead of black and there are no options to change the colour that I found on app. There is no email for Support and hence couldn't reach out to ask for help too.
United StatesWondeful App You can't help but benefit!
I'm skeptical of "good habit" app, but I found myself taking the prescribed break from the very time the scree. I could have skipped that first break, but why, when it was only for 20 seconds. To reward the dev for this wonderful app, I bought the added Move Around feature. And, behold, I started actually taking its advice. I'm grateful to the dev for this marvelous app. Thank you!
United StatesNicee app but could be better
Launch at system startup doesn't work, it can't be selected. Standup timer should be customized by minutes or seconds, not by breaks times.
United States希望能够增加到时提醒的功能
有时候手头上的工作还没处理完就突然黑屏了。希望能增加一个倒数提醒。比如，还有30秒到休息时间时响一下
United StatesOpted for Paid
So far, this has worked nicely, since with a paid version I more finely tune the parameters. It's great that I can have it remind me to take mini-breaks, as well as an hourly big break. I also set up the Calendar app to automatically load the Take a Break on weekdays, to sync up with my work schedule. One feature that would be great, is to have is the ability to start and stop on a schedule, so that I can have it during work hours, but get rid of it during personal time.

Remove the automatic pause feature of playing video, and the later version will add an optional form to the settings.
