Break Timer for everyday routines

A massive, unignorable break timer

It is easy to ignore a tiny notification in the corner of your screen telling you to take a break. This large break timer is designed to be opened in a separate browser tab or on a secondary monitor. Its massive, high-contrast digits provide an unignorable visual cue that it is time to step away from your work.

Protect your eyes and posture

Frequent screen breaks are essential for preventing eye strain and back pain. Use the quick presets to instantly start a '5-minute stretch', a '20-20-20 rule eye rest', or a '15-minute walk'. The custom label feature lets you explicitly define your break goal.

Immersive focus mode

When the timer is running, it enters a clean, distraction-free immersive mode. All menus and secondary text disappear, leaving only the countdown. This minimal design helps you fully disconnect and rest your mind before returning to work.

Common questions

Is this a Pomodoro timer?

While many users use it for the Pomodoro technique (by setting 25-minute focus blocks and 5-minute break blocks), it is intentionally designed as a simpler, more flexible countdown tool without forcing you into rigid productivity systems.

Will the screen go to sleep while the timer runs?

No. On supported modern browsers, the timer requests a 'wake lock' to ensure your display remains active and visible throughout your entire break.

Can I mute the alarm if I am in an office?

Yes. You can easily toggle the sound off. The timer will still use a highly visible, full-screen flash to let you know your break is over, without disturbing your coworkers.
