————————————
Break Timer is now deprecated in favour of the standalone desktop app, which is available at https://breaktimer.app.
————————————
Break Timer allows you to set up customizable breaks and will remind you to take them. Taking breaks whilst working or studying is crucial in preventing RSI, eye-strain and tiredness.
Break Timer allows you to customize:
* How long your breaks are and how often you wish to have them
* Whether to be reminded with a simple notification or a fullscreen break window
* Working hours so you are only reminded when you want to be.
* Colour and text of break window and notifications
* Whether to play a gong sound at break start and end
* Whether to allow skipping, postponing and ending of breaks
Break Timer will also intelligently restart your break countdown (optionally) when it detects that you have not been using the computer for some amount of time.

BreakTimer is free and open source. The code is available at https://github.com/tom-james-watson/breaktimer and contributions and bug reports are very welcome.
Realmente es buena, me gusta porque me obligo a tomar un justo y merecido descanso. Solo me gustaría que al terminar el break, sonara la alarma para hacerme saber que ya debo regresar .
Great App! However, can you please add an option for us to customize how many seconds our breaks are? Ideally, I’d have 30 second breaks every 30 minutes, so that I wouldn’t have to manually close the window myself. A minute is a bit too long for me. Anyway, this app is a great addition to anyone’s self-care routine, especially for those who are on the computer all day long.
Thanks! 🙂
丸美就完了
Literally saved my life
This is the best pomodoro enabling extension I have found so far although I am using the deprecated Chrome extension on a Chromebox. I don’t use Windows, MacOS or Linux so the app wouldn’t help me. I like the auto start particularly. I gave you a very small donation in token of that…
Two suggestions:
1. Enforce the breaks. Other apps flip or lock the display until the end of the break.
2. Keep the break running until a user action is detected.
Five stars if you can do those two things in the extension!
Good.
Works perfect
I used to love this app and use it for work every day. Maybe it’s the recent Chrome updates, but the app has stopped working this past month. I get the popup that the break will happen soon…and the break never comes. It just starts the countdown again. Also, disabling the break doesn’t work if I have more than one Chrome window open.
I suggest you try another break app until this one is updated and debugged.
I love this app. Can I show you my ideas that might develop your app futhur ?
Perfect, simple “take a break” tool that works either as a browser extension or installed app
In my opinion it’s excellent, does its job
Exactly what I need! Thanks Devs!
Ideales Tool zur Selbstorganisation. Ich nutze es zur stündlichen Entspannung und zur Stündlich 3 minütigen Pause mit Sport. Also als Energypush mental und physisch. Klasse
This helps me alot as I can get stressed quite alot while trying to learn programming languages online.
Thanks for this, I needed this alot!
非常赞，小清新！
This is an amazing extension, except I can’t set the timer to times between midnight and 1AM.
Really well done, nice UI, never misses a beat.
Отличный полнофункциональный таймер с кучей настроек.
Disable feature is not consistent .Break still starts even if you disable it
Thanks for your great extension!

This app is simple and awesome! Good to have with Chrome browser.
This app is simply awesome, after an year shifted to other app just bcoz Long Break feature after 4 breaks. i request someone to please confirm existence this feature in this app.
Im a melon and I need no breaks, but I say that it is pretty good.
Awesome extension. Especially love that it auto starts!
The only change I would request is a button to restart the “Break frequency” countdown, along side the “Disable breaks” button. Yes, I know its there in the Settings menu, but thats one additional click. Or even better, you could support keyboard shortcuts for the “restart break frequency” action (and other actions) via chrome://extensions/shortcuts
Great job again!
I quite enjoy using this break timer (when I remember to actually take the break instead of skipping through it). Definitely worth trying out!
