Breaks on your schedule
From working hours to reminder style, configure it around your routine. When you need to focus, it keeps counting quietly in the tray.
Full-screen breaks or notifications
Use a full-screen break window or only send system notifications. Postpone, skip or take a break immediately.
Tray and auto-launch
The tray menu shows break status and the countdown, and can pause reminders. Auto-launch, sounds, theme and backdrop settings are included.
English and Simplified Chinese
The interface supports English and Simplified Chinese, or follows the system language. Settings and runtime data stay on your PC.

SmartScreen warning
The app and installers are currently unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may show a security warning. To continue, choose “More info”, confirm the file came from this project's GitHub Releases, then choose “Run anyway”.
System requirements: Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit; Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is required.
Privacy and anonymous metrics
On first launch the app generates a random installation ID and sends at most once a day: installation ID, date, app version, OS family, architecture, UI language and install type. It does not send IP addresses, user names, host names, hardware details, install paths or settings. You can turn this off at any time in Settings → System → Allow anonymous usage data. Update checks only request public version information from GitHub.
