We build apps that make your life easier one day at a time! Schedule your day with Coffee Break. Imagine your Mac telling you with bold actions that you have been sitting in front of the screen too long or that you need a break to take the dog for a walk.
A mechanism that refuses to do anything else for you until you rest your eyes and grab some fresh air going for a walk. ILifeTouch can make your life this simple.
Set the time you want to take a break or schedule a time event or activity. A countdown clock will warn you that your screen will darken. The second setting, which is how long you want the break to be will start counting down. After the time for your break is up your computer lights up and you are back in control as if nothing happened. If you want to set up your day or night up in advance simply fill in your break schedule and Break Timer will do the rest, You may also remind yourself why you are taking a specific break.
Coffee Break is also available on your IOS devices. ILifeTouch making apps that make your life easier one day at a time. Poetcop, Confusing, clunky and seemingly nonfunctional I just wanted a simple countdown timer like the old Coffee Break Pro.
This one looked like it would fit the bill, although with an incredibly clunky and confusing graphical interface. For example, the bad decision to make everything slider based rather than letting you type in numbers.
But the Open at Login doesn’t work on Yosemite, it often stops counting down for no reason that I can see, and the window doesn’t even disappear smoothly when I expect it to (e.g. There’s no close button, and clicking outside doesn’t dismiss it). Not recommended. Poetcop, Confusing, clunky and seemingly nonfunctional I just wanted a simple countdown timer like the old Coffee Break Pro.

There are many break timers, and I just needed one that could be set to a particular time, not a particular interval. Now that I have it, I realize that there is no way to shut off the interval timer (that I can find) - it will tell me I need to take a break every 90 min (max time you can set it for) and on top of that ask me to take my scheduled breaks. It would be nice if you could use either the interval timer or the scheduled timer or both. There are also pop-ups that appear that I don't quite understand, perhaps to tell me how long until my next scheduled break?
There seems to be a surprising lack of choices in the settings and lack of documentation to tell you what the few settings they provide actually do. There is also another version of this app that is more expensive and lets you select what the breaks are called (rather than coffee breaks). Mixmeister crack download for mac. I don't know if perhaps that is better documented and featured than this one, but I wouldn't recommend spending money on this. I wish I could get my money back and look for another solution that is more simple but less optimal (like setting an alarm on my phone).

Cirdureth, Great reminder I definitly can get caught up in all the work or chat, or browsing that I'm doing on the computer and forget to move for hours. This app is helpful for reminding me to get up stretch, drink water, eat, whatever. I need something hard to ignore.
Coffee Format
It looks nice, and works great. The one issue I have with it, is it doesn't seem to work with spaces.
The screen will darken in one screen, the countdown in another, leaving the others completely lit up and functional. It would be that much better if it would somehow darken every screen, or put the computer on a temporary 'lock down'. But other than that nit picky detail, here's to a healthier lifestyle, and NOT sitting in front of the computer screen too long.
