Protect your eyes while you build. Soft 20-20-20 breaks, blink & water nudges, warm tint, and quiet hours — right from your menu bar. Take a Break is a calm macOS menu bar app that helps you protect your eyes during long screen days — without breaking your focus. Built around the 20-20-20 rule, it gently reminds you to pause, look away, blink, and hydrate so healthier habits become automatic. WHAT IT DOES • Timed focus sessions with full-screen break overlays on every display • Gentle blink reminders between breaks to ease dry eyes • Optional drink-water nudges on a schedule you choose • Warm screen tint with soft shades and intensities for late sessions • Quiet hours that auto-pause outside your work window • Custom timing for screen time, break length, blink, and water intervals • Global hotkey to start a break anytime • Optional soft sounds at break start and end • Today’s rhythm: breaks completed, focus minutes, and weekly glance • Lives in the menu bar — no Dock icon, always nearby • Start at login so care begins with your day • English, Hindi, and Arabic WHO IT’S FOR Developers, designers, writers, students — anyone who spends hours in front of a Mac and wants healthier screen time without noisy interruptions. HOW IT FEELS Work uninterrupted. When it’s time, every screen softens into a quiet pause. Look about 20 feet (or meters) away, breathe, then return clearer. Quiet hours step aside when you’re off the clock. Take a Break makes eye care feel light — soft enforcement, serious care. Requires macOS 14 or later.
