Do you often forget to take breaks while staring at your screen for hours?
Tried other break reminder apps? Too easy to dismiss. Useless.
ForceBreak is different — it adds friction to skipping, giving you a moment to reconsider before you impulsively click away.
Interval Breaks - Micro-rests During Work
Micro Break
Every 20 minutes, close your eyes for 20 seconds. Follow the 20-20-20 rule to prevent eye strain and dry eyes.
Movement Break
After a few micro breaks, get up and move for 5 minutes. Combat neck pain, back problems, and RSI from prolonged sitting.
Rest Periods - Digital Boundaries After Work
Set fixed rest periods (e.g., 11 PM - 8 AM). A full-screen overlay appears automatically when it's time to rest.
Build clear boundaries between work and life.
Why ForceBreak?
Won't Interrupt You Suddenly
Get notified 30 seconds before each break — enough time to save your work. Need more time? Tap the notification to snooze for 5 minutes.
Adds Friction to Skipping
Full-screen overlay covers all windows. Want to dismiss? You can, but you'll need to wait through a cooldown period. Those few seconds are enough to make you think: Is it really that urgent?
Launch at Login, Set It and Forget It
No need to remember to open it every day. Once configured, ForceBreak runs silently in the background.
Smart Idle Detection
Timer pauses automatically when you step away. No surprise break alerts when you return from a meeting.
Native & Lightweight
Built with Swift. Minimal memory footprint. Lives quietly in your menu bar.
Who Is This For?
- You, who tried other tools but always dismissed them instantly
- You, who always forget to open the break reminder
- Programmers who code for hours
- Remote workers struggling with work-life balance
- You, already suffering from neck or eye problems and need to change now
Work. Rest. Repeat.
Start using ForceBreak. Make rest a habit.
