Time Out - Break Reminders
macOS / Forme et santé
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, or you can easily add new ones.
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, and optionally end the break early.
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.
Time Out is packed with features to customize it to suit your needs. It can be as simple or as powerful as you wish.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
- Fixed the time of the first break of the day when using the From Fixed Time scheduling option.
- Fixed an issue where the Break for time could be longer than the Every interval, which doesn't make sense.
- Fixed a calendar-based break having a duration of zero instead of the duration of the calendar event.
- Fixed the Teams Meeting rule script, which stopped working due to Microsoft renaming the background process that handles an active meeting.
