You deserve a break. Easy break reminders, with flexible customization if you want it.

It is very easy to fall into bad habits when using a computer for hours on end. You care about what you are doing, so can sometimes push yourself too far, or over-strain yourself. The human body isn't built to sit in one position for endless hours, gripping a mouse or typing on the keyboard. Dejal Time Out is here to help. It will gently remind you to take a break on a regular basis.

Time Out comes with two kinds of breaks: a "Normal" break, typically for 10 minutes every hour, so you can move about and relax, plus a "Micro" break: a very brief pause of typically 15 seconds every 15 minutes, so you can remember not to tense up too much for long periods. You can change, disable or remove either kind of break if desired, and add new kinds of breaks, e.g. fixed lunch or afternoon breaks.

You can configure how long each kind of break lasts, and how long between breaks, and the breaks can be set to count backwards when you take a natural break, e.g. when you go away from your computer.

The app features customizable break themes, with several variations to show during breaks. These themes can be edited if desired, using standard HTML.

While in a break, a progress bar shows how long till it is over, and buttons are available to postpone or skip the break if you can't be interrupted right then.

What's more, you can optionally perform various actions before, during or after breaks. You can display a notification, play a sound, speak some text, run a script, and more.

Версия 2.9.7

- Fixed another crash on pre-Sonoma macOS versions. Sorry about that!

Plus more in the recent updates:

- Fixed a different crash on pre-Sonoma macOS versions.
- Fixed the settings window unexpectedly appearing after restarting the Mac, when the Dock icon is hidden.
- Fixed the app launch helper unexpectedly opening Terminal on older macOS versions.
- Fixed misnaming the app in the sidebar when using a "When Open" app exclusion.
- Fixed the "Also skip breaks during focus" exclusion option.
- Fixed a break with a large negative duration when scheduling from the calendar with no more events.
- Fixed the tooltip for the "Ask When to Start" scheduling option.
- When there are multiple displays available, now uses the names of the displays in the menu.
- Fixed the "With Inactive Menubar" option for multiple displays.
- The other displays now fade out and back in correctly.
- Fixed requesting full calendar access when using the calendar exclusion option (need full access to look for matching events).
- Fixed the Skip button appearing when previewing a break if the "end early" option is enabled.
- Fixed the option to alert of another copy of the app.
- Added support for break-specific pause via a URL like `timeout://break/micro/pause/30m`, where `micro` is the break name, and `30m` means pause for 30 minutes.
- Also break-specific resume via a URL like `timeout://break/micro/resume`.
- Fixed using a `timeout://pause` URL without an amount (to pause all breaks indefinitely) possibly crashing.
- Fixed the settings window unexpectedly appearing when using a `timeout://` URL.
- Bonus: added the "Sinclair Trails 2023" theme, with random timelapse clips of driving around the US.

Helps me not forget to relax my eyes

Quite useful to not forget to relax my eyes, considering the fact that I stare at the display for entire day.

Suggestion: allow some kind of wildcards in the application path for Exclusions, or detect the running app in some other way (e.g. by name of the app or the process).
For example I have a trouble with WebEx - every time it updates the version it places the .app file into a new folder specific for this version, so every time I need to track this and manually update the path to the app in the Exclusion setting.
Apparently, when I inevitably forget to do this and the TimOut blocks the whole thing when I have a WebEx meeting, this drives me nuts!

P.S: hopefully it will never end up as a must-have-subscription-to-use app. It’s better just to make it paid: one-time 15 bucks payment is far more comfortable than 1$ monthly one.

Thank you for the kind words. That does sound like an annoying issue with WebEx. I'll think about ways to better handle that.

Don't worry, I have no plans to make Time Out a mandatory subscription. I like my current supporter model.

Отличное приложение! / Excellent app!

Постоянно напоминает мне, что пора оторваться от монитора. Глаза действительно стали меньше уставать. Очень удобно, что можно по-своему настроить каждый перерыв, особенно радует возможность убрать кнопки “пропустить” и “отложить” - я вечно ими злоупотребляю. А тут - без шансов. Купила годовую подписку и не пожалела. Рекомендую!

Reminds me to give my eyes some rest, so they are not so tired in the evening as they were before. Like the possibility to customise the breaks, especially to disable break skip and postpone (I always use those buttons if they are available and now the app just doesn’t leave me a choice). Got 12-Month Supporter and I am fully pleased with it. Thanks a lot!

Suggestion: It would be great if the Activity feature allowed to see total amount of time spent during the day for every app that it tracks.

Thanks! You may enjoy the new feature in version 2.4 to disable those buttons for a few seconds, so you can have them there, but give you a moment to decide whether or not to click.

Re the Activity suggestion, you can kind of do that now by dragging the slider all the way to the left: it will show the total time for any apps you spent a significant part of the day using.
