This update is a major overhaul of the app, including an improved visual design with a new app icon and UI.

New features

  • Breaks no longer have an immediate centered countdown that interrupts what you're doing, but instead first show a subtle notification that lets you begin your break when you are ready. After one minute, a one minute countdown will start.
  • We now track how long it's been since your last break and will show it on the break notification when you have previously snoozed or skipped a break.
  • Break messages can now contain newlines.
  • Added a volume control for the break sounds.
  • Renamed "Idle Reset" to "Smart Breaks", which is a little clearer.
  • Builds of the app that do not auto-update (Windows and some Linux builds) will now notify you when a new version is available and link you to the download.

Bug fixes and minor improvements

  • Fixes time settings getting messed up when changing time zone.
  • Fixes getting stuck at "Next break in 1 minute".
  • Disabling when a break is happening will now work properly and close the current break.
  • "Start break now" from system tray immediately begins breaks.
  • The time shown when a break is automatically detected via smart breaks (previously idle reset) is now based on when you first became idle, not after the configured time.

  • Working hours have been completely reworked. Different days can now have different working hours and it's also possible to have multiple time ranges per day.
  • Added multiple different break start/end sounds. The end sound is now also a slightly deeper pitch than the start sound.
  • Added the ability to disable for a set amount of time. There is now a new menu item on the tray icon context menu that lets you choose from different amounts of time to disable the app for. The amount of time that the app is disabled for is also shown in the context menu.
  • Apple silicon is now natively supported. The macOS dmg is now a universal build that will run on both intel and arm macs.
  • Adds support for dark mode in the settings view based on system dark mode preferences.
  • Upgraded electron and other core dependencies.

  • Added new "Show backdrop" option to "Customization", which adds a fullscreen backdrop to the break popups. This prevents you from interacting with any other app, which helps those of us with low self-control!
  • Notifications will now respect native macOS settings. If you explicitly set the app to have "alert" notifications, they will no longer disappear.
  • Fix "Start at login" for AppImage.
