Pause periodically reminds you to take a break, and step away from the computer. You can customise how frequently you want to take a break, how long they should last, and set suggestions for activities to perform. Pause includes multiple notification styles, so you can choose whether breaks should always be manually started with a click, or if they should automatically begin with a 5 second countdown. When you’re in the zone at work or want to kick back and watch a movie, enter Flow to stop break notifications. On macOS Monterey, Pause supports Shortcuts so you can automate changes to your settings. Pause is fully localised in Spanish. If you would like to help add support for other languages, please contact me at pause@harshil.net. Pause is and will always remain free to use.

trying to wean myself off of too much internet addiction and also just allow myself space to breathe in my creative process and attempts to be productive. this app does exactly what i want it to. would be nice if apple would integrate something like this into mac OS natively in the future, but until then, this is a brilliant little app.

Love the screen takeover feature - most break/focus apps fail me because it's too easy to ignore the notification. Only improvement would be to add a way to see the time remaining before your next break. I use it for movement breaks (5 minutes), so it would be useful to know do I have ten minutes before the break (enough time to get into another task) or two minutes (just check some email).

I tried four or five such apps this weekend. To my mind (or eyes), Pause is simplest and best — small, customizable, and free.

This release fixes a bug where the break screen wouldn't show your wallpaper on newer macOS versions Pause now requires macOS Sonoma 14.6 or newer
