Break Reminder Timer
Sitting and staring at a screen for hours is hard on your eyes, back, and focus, so this timer nudges you to take regular breaks. Set how often you want a reminder, press start, and every interval the tool flashes a message and plays a soft chime telling you to stand up, stretch, and look away from the screen for a moment. It then quietly restarts, so you get a steady rhythm of breaks through your work session without having to remember. A running count shows how many breaks you have taken. Following the well known guidance to rest your eyes every 20 minutes or so can genuinely reduce strain and fatigue. Everything runs in your browser tab with a locally generated sound, so keep the tab open and let it look after you.
