Description

Pause periodically reminds you to take a break, and step away from the computer.

You can customise how frequenty 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.

what a great little application

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.

Super great app.

Love the little 5 second warning and then the full screen takover. Would be great if there was an option to change the sound tho

Great little application for following the 20/20/20 rule, which makes our eyes happy.

One small improvement: maybe add a whitelist of apps to automatically enable Flow for, like for Zoom/video calls
