What is Sane Break?

Sane Break is a cross-platform break reminder designed to help you take meaningful breaks without disrupting your workflow. Sane Break allows you to take ownership of when to stop and break. It starts by providing a gentle, non-intrusive reminder through a flashing window. The break officially begins as soon as you naturally pause after finishing your current task. This way, Sane Break offers the flexibility to wrap up your work and take a break on your terms, rather than forcing an abrupt interruption.
