Ergoblin information
What is Ergoblin?
Here's what's happening. You found this page because the break app you have isn't working. Not broken. Ignored. You tuned it out by day 3, because a polite chime is easy to ignore and it never once got under your skin.
I'm Ergo. I'm a goblin. I live in menu bars on Mac and Windows, and my whole job is being harder to ignore than a chime.
7 break types: eyes (yes, including 20-20-20), posture, movement, hydration, breathing, mental rest, and sleep. Every message is written fresh. I don't repeat myself, so you can't learn to stop hearing me. 3 personalities: Simple, Snarky when you can take the truth, Wholesome for your better days. When a reminder isn't enough, Go Deep is a fullscreen guided break with imagery and audio. A real reset, not a suggestion you swipe away. There are shareable break cards, if you're the type to brag about self-care.
The parts your last break app hopefully got right, I kept: no analytics, no tracking, no ads. 5 day trial with no credit card. After that, a free tier covers the basics forever, or $2.99 a month ($24.99 a year) unlocks the full goblin. Download me or keep scrolling. Either way: shoulders. Down.
There you go.
