A break in three acts.

Focus, a heads-up, then twenty seconds of rest.

Every 20 min

You keep working - InTab counts down invisibly, no UI until the heads-up.

Click a phase to preview it - nothing here auto-plays a sound.

The 4 p.m. difference

Strain is silent until it isn't.

You never notice the hours you didn't look up, only the headache after.

A day without breaks

  • Three hours locked on one screen without looking away
  • Dry eyes and a dull headache by mid-afternoon
  • You only stop once something already hurts
  • Break apps live in another window you never see

A day with InTab

  • A quiet nudge every 20 minutes, right on the page
  • 20 seconds looking far away, then straight back in
  • Mid-flow? Snooze +1, +5 or +15 minutes
  • Chime, voice guidance, or silence - you choose
How it works

Three steps, zero willpower.

1

Pick a rhythm

20-20-20, Pomodoro, or your own: 5-120 min intervals, 5 sec-5 min breaks.

2

Get the warning

A toast counts down before each break: start, snooze or skip it.

3

Rest for 20 seconds

A calm overlay has you look away, then schedules the next break.

Workday-proof

Gentle, but not naive.

Everything below ships today, pulled from the product.

Routines that fit

20-20-20, Pomodoro, or custom: 5-120 min intervals, 5 sec-5 min breaks.

A snooze budget

3 snoozes by default (0-10 adjustable), refilled only when you take a break.

Five chimes and a voice

5 alert sounds, or a spoken prompt - mute anytime from the overlay.

Meeting-safe

Meet and Zoom calls keep playing through a break - YouTube pauses and resumes after.

It adapts to you

InTab learns your real rhythm from breaks you take, then offers to match it.

One break, every tab

Synced across every open tab - snooze once, it's snoozed everywhere.

Gentle by default

A reminder, not a warden.

Break tools fail when they fight you - InTab makes it easy.

You hold the keys

Skip, snooze, or dismiss with Esc - or extend a break with +10s, +1m, +5m.

Tuned in seconds

Countdown 3-60s, auto-start and sound toggles, plus a live Test Break button.

Local by default

Timers run in your browser; voice alerts only speak the break phrase, nothing else.

Good questions

Before you ask

No. A break never pauses a live call - video and audio streams from Meet, Zoom on the web and similar tools keep playing for everyone. Regular media, like a YouTube video, is paused and resumed after the break. And if the timing is bad, one click snoozes the reminder for 1, 5 or 15 minutes.

Give your eyes the break they've earned.

Break Reminders ship free inside InTab, alongside 15+ focus and productivity tools - one install, calmer days.
