Mac
CapyBreak is a friendly menu bar timer that reminds you to get up and move regularly while working at your Mac.
Choose how long you want to sit, how long you want to move, and how long brief inactivity should count before the sitting timer restarts. CapyBreak uses keyboard, click and scroll activity to distinguish real use from pointer-only mouse movement.
When it is time to get up, choose the motivational fitness capybara or a simple Classic reminder. CapyBreak can delay a due reminder for selected applications, websites, full-screen games, presentations, or camera or microphone use. Website checks are performed locally only when a reminder is due or already delayed.
Features:
- Configurable sitting, away and movement intervals
- Capybara and Classic reminder styles
- Menu bar timer with no Dock icon
- Optional application and website reminder exceptions
- Pointer-only mouse movement ignored as activity
- Optional completion sound
- Opt-in launch at login
- No account, advertising, analytics or cloud service
- Apple silicon support on macOS 13 or later
CapyBreak is a general wellness timer. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Capybara reminders now stay visible when switching apps, desktops or full-screen Spaces.
- Fixed a rendering issue that could leave the capybara missing from its reminder.
- Refined the pixel-art animation with a steadier head and planted foot, restored shoe pixels, and a corrected shorts seam in the ready pose.
