Rest is a simple but powerful OS X app that sits in your menubar and reminds you to take a break to improve your productivity and keep your eyes healthy.
Use our hand-picked sounds & images for your breaks or supply your own. Easily postpone your breaks, or just take them early. Everything works beautifully and seamlessly.
◆ Pomodoro support. With custom intervals and an optional longer 4th break, you can use the Pomodoro time management technique with Rest.
◆ An unobtrusive, beautiful menubar indicator.
◆ An advance notice countdown so you can wrap up work before you head for your break. (optional)
◆ Beautiful, full-screen break reminders (optional). Whats more, you can use your own!
◆ Simple exercises. Just find the option in the preferences window and do a bit of stretching on your breaks. Office-friendly.
◆ Pause for a set period of time. Never forget to activate Rest again after watching a movie.
◆ Make sure you take your breaks. Just tell Rest to prevent you from working during breaks and youll have to step away from the computer until your break is over. Warning: Apart from restarting your computer, there will be no way to continue working. All your apps will continue to run as normal in the background.
◆ 13 soothing sounds to pick from - from a decisive gong to a beautiful piano melody. And if thats not enough, just supply your own!
◆ Automatic break detection (optional) - step away from your computer to "take your break", even if its earlier or later than planned. Rest adjusts automatically.
* Note: images available with the full-screen break notifications vary from system to system. The break exercises shown do not constitute medical advice.
