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.

Your eyes feel it first

The screen gets harder to look at, but there is always one more thing to finish.

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.”

“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.”

A calmer way to work

A gentle nudge when the hours disappear

Take a break before your body has to ask

Cappy reminds you when a break is due: stretch, rest your eyes, or grab some water.

Keep a routine that fits how you work

Choose your intervals, reminder types, and working hours. Need more than a nudge? Turn on lock screen mode and make the break non-negotiable.

Make the breaks you keep skipping non-negotiable

Need a harder nudge? Enable lock screen mode to block your screen during breaks — perfect for building real habits when willpower alone isn't enough.

Stay present in every meeting

Do Not Disturb is on by default. CapyBreaks quietly holds your reminders whenever you're on a call or sharing your screen, then picks back up the moment you're free — no awkward popups mid-presentation.
