Built to be forgotten โ until it's time to rest.
BreakFlow sits quietly in your Mac's menu bar, watches the clock so you don't have to, and gently pulls you away from the screen before your eyes, back, and focus pay for it.
You've forgotten how to stop.
- Blinkskipped
- Standskipped
- Stretchskipped
- Drink waterskipped
- Rest your eyesskipped
Most break apps try to fix this by becoming a second job: accounts to make, dashboards to read, videos to watch, streaks to protect.
BreakFlow does the opposite. One menu bar icon. One countdown. One fullscreen moment when it's time to stop โ then it gets out of your way again.
If you need a tutorial to use it, we've failed.
Five steps. No setup screen.
Install it, and the rest happens on its own โ until you tell it otherwise.
Install & forget
Launches straight into the menu bar. No onboarding tour, no account screen.
Timer counts down
A quiet ๐ฟ in your menu bar tracks the minutes until your next break.
Screen fades to a break
A calm, fullscreen moment โ with a wallpaper you'll actually enjoy looking at.
You choose
Take the break, skip it, or push it back 30 minutes. Always your call.
It resets
Timer restarts automatically, and BreakFlow disappears back into the menu bar.
Everything a break needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Idle detection
Step away for a while and BreakFlow notices. It resets quietly instead of interrupting a break you already took.
Launch at login
Starts the moment your Mac does. Nothing to remember, nothing extra to open.
Daily stats
Taken, skipped, paused โ tracked locally, reset every midnight, never uploaded anywhere.
Calming wallpapers
Forest, ocean, mountain, or solid โ pick one, or let it surprise you every time.
Light, dark, or system
Matches your Mac automatically โ or set it yourself, if you'd rather it didn't.
Private by design
No account, no servers, no analytics. Every setting and stat stays on your machine.
That's the whole app.
No tabs to dig through, no settings buried five menus deep.
Go touch some grass.
We mean that literally. BreakFlow's entire job is to interrupt you โ kindly โ so you stand up, stretch, hydrate, and remember there's a world outside the editor.
That's it. That's the app.
One price. Yours forever.
No subscription, no tiers to think about โ pay once, keep every future 1.x update.
- Unlimited use, no trial timer
- All break intervals & durations
- All wallpapers & themes
- Idle detection & daily stats
- Every future 1.x update, free
- Everything stored locally โ no login, no cloud
Before you ask
Is this a subscription?
No. BreakFlow is a one-time purchase of $5.00. Pay once, and it's yours โ including every 1.x update โ for as long as you use it.
Does BreakFlow send my data anywhere?
No. Every setting and every stat (breaks taken, skipped, paused) is stored locally on your Mac. There's no account, no cloud, and no analytics collecting anything in the background.
What does it need to run?
macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. That's the only requirement.
Can I customize the break interval and wallpapers?
Yes โ interval, duration, wallpaper, and theme are all configurable from Settings. Change them any time; BreakFlow applies it on the next cycle.
Is there a free version?
Not right now. BreakFlow ships as a single lifetime purchase, deliberately โ one price, no tiers to compare.
What if I want a refund?
Email support and we'll sort it out โ no elaborate process, no hard sell to stay.
Your next break is 20 minutes away.
Whether it happens is up to BreakFlow now.
