ZenBreak

It’s important to take a break every now and then. It’s easy to disregard many things around you when focusing on your screen for hours on end. Fortunately, even if you keep forgetting to take periodic breaks, there are some solutions you can try to remind yourself.

ZenBreak is one of the solutions that can potentially come to your aid to help you get away from that screen for a while. The app handles all of this by way of an intuitive, modern interface that lets you customize break times, as well as modify the look of the reminders.

Perhaps it’s the most fitting description for such an app, as what you see is what you get: a break reminder solution that keeps it very simple. There’s nothing particularly complicated about using the app, which makes it accessible to a wide audience.

There are a few configurations to be mindful of. You can set your preferred break frequency and duration, and you can also opt to have skip and snooze buttons, which hopefully will be used sparingly. It’s not good to skip too many breaks, and snoozing to prolong break time all the time isn’t good, either.

When it’s time to take a break, the app will remind you through a notification or pop-up. The latter is more conspicuous, but after all...when it’s break time, it’s break time. You may customize the break message for either of them. If you opt for the pop-up, you can also customize its colors.

ZenBreak is a fun little app that will remind you to take periodic breaks. It may not seem like much, but it’s easy to lose track of time and forget that you should get away from that screen and look at life every now and then.
