Your eyes feel it first
The screen gets harder to look at, but there is always one more thing to finish.
You look up and three hours are gone. The break never happened.
CapyBreaks is a break reminder app for Mac and Windows. It reminds you to stretch, rest your eyes, drink water, or stand up.
Cappy reminds you when a break is due. You choose how often. It runs quietly while you work.

Sound familiar?
You're not bad at taking breaks. Work is good at making you forget.
Willpower loses to a full calendar, a deep-focus session, and the thought that you'll stop after this one last task.
Then your body catches up
You finally move and realize your shoulders have been up by your ears for hours.
Work ends. The fatigue stays.
You close the laptop with nothing left for the part of the day that is actually yours.
Gentle enough to leave running
A break reminder only works if you leave it on.
“The gentle reminders get me to step away from the screen. They never feel annoying, so I leave them on.”
Alex
Software engineer
“The animations are so cute that I want to take a break. It's a nice little moment of joy in my day.”
Sarah
Product designer
“Finally, a break reminder app that doesn't feel intrusive. It's gentle and genuinely helpful.”
