01 · Short
Eye strain
Quick pauses every 20 to 25 minutes to rest your eyes and reset posture.
Built for better breaks
A Mac app for better breaks.
PulseBreak reminds you to rest your eyes, reset your posture, and step away without breaking your flow.
02 · The problem
You’re probably not taking breaks properly
When you’re focused, time disappears.
You sit too long, your eyes keep working, and your posture gradually changes to whatever your desk allows.
You do not need more discipline. You need a small, reliable cue.
03 · The fix
PulseBreak makes better breaks easier
PulseBreak lives in your menu bar and reminds you at the right moments.
- Short breaks for your eyes
- Longer breaks to reset your body
- Simple reminders that don’t interrupt your flow
04 · How it works
Built around how people actually work
Two kinds of breaks, one menu bar app. That’s it.
02 · Long
Posture
Step away, move, stretch. Reset your energy and your body properly.
03 · Always
Flow
Menu bar control, with live cycle status in Settings when macOS runs out of menu bar space.
05 · Your rhythm
Set a rhythm that fits your workday
Adjust break timing, schedules, routines, app exceptions, sounds, and background photos from one native Settings window.

What you should do during a break
Recharge your body and mind in a few moments. Skip any step.
Look away from your screen
Focus on something in the distance for 20 seconds.
Sit upright and reset your posture
Roll your shoulders back and lengthen your spine.
Take a few slow breaths
Inhale deeply, exhale fully. Repeat two or three times.
Stand up and move
Stretch, walk around, or get your blood flowing.
Small actions. Big impact.
These small breaks help you stay focused, feel better, and do your best work.
07 · Why this exists
Built out of necessity
I built PulseBreak because I needed it myself.
Most tools were either too complex, too intrusive, or just didn’t feel right.
This one is simple, native, and does exactly what it should.
