What it is

Static web app. Android shell. Local rhythm.

BreakSignal is a simple static web app and Android app for healthy break reminders. It supports eye breaks, stretch breaks, walking breaks, posture reminders, custom timing, and local settings with no account required.

Why breaks matter

Interrupt long static sessions.

Regular pauses can help you notice eye strain, posture tension, stiffness, and mental fatigue before they build up. BreakSignal keeps those pauses quiet, steady, and easy to act on.

Eye breaks

Shift away from constant near focus.

Screens keep attention locked at a close distance. Looking away gives your eyes a chance to relax from constant near focus. BreakSignal reminds you to look away, blink, and soften your focus.

Posture resets

Notice the small desk-work drifts.

Long desk sessions can make it easy to drift into tense shoulders, forward neck posture, or uneven sitting. BreakSignal gives small prompts to relax your shoulders, align your neck, and return both feet to the floor.

Stretching and movement

Change position before stillness settles in.

Short standing, stretching, and walking breaks can help interrupt long periods of stillness. BreakSignal supports stretch and walking reminders so movement stays part of the work rhythm.

Focus recovery

Give focus blocks a clean boundary.

Breaks are not only physical. A short pause can help mark the end of one focus block and prepare the mind for the next, without turning the timer into another noisy task.

Privacy-first design

Built to run locally.

BreakSignal requires no account, no backend database, no analytics, and no external API for core timer behavior. Settings and history are stored locally on the device or browser.
