Your work, visualised

Weekly and monthly charts. 100% offline. No accounts. No tracking.

Full control, right-click away.

Right-click the menu bar icon for instant access. Check your status, pause, or skip without opening the dashboard.

How it works

Enable Notifications & Overlays

Turn on macOS Notifications. When a break triggers, a full-screen overlay covers your desktop. It forces you to look away, relax, and stretch—not just stare at a ticking clock.
