Ratings and Reviews
Opted 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.
Worked 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.
Wondeful 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!
