CLUSTER REMINDS-BREAKS-TAKE · 25 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-03-23
Break reminder apps
This cluster comprises desktop, terminal, and browser tools that remind users to take regular breaks, reduce eye strain via the 20-20-20 rule, and encourage movement or screen-time awareness. The dated entry history is irregular and thin: one member appeared in 2009, while the remaining eight dated entries span 2024 through 2026, with the most frequent activity in 2026. Traction is led by sedentary-reminder (101 stars), followed by Pawse (18) and pause (4).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
