Caesura reminds you to take six essential breaks—drink water, walk, stretch your wrists, rest your eyes, shift posture, and breathe—each on the interval that research actually supports. The app lives in your menu bar, pauses automatically during calls, screen sharing, fullscreen, and focus mode, and coalesces overlapping breaks into a single nudge so it never overwhelms you.
Key benefits include:
- Evidence‑based intervals: Every default comes from a specific study (e.g., eyes every 20 min, walk every 60 min) so you break on a rhythm your body needs, not a round number.
- Smart auto‑pause: Caesura watches your camera, screen recording, calendar, and active app; timers freeze and resume exactly where they left off.
- Three presentation styles: Choose overlay (full‑screen), banner (menu‑bar slide‑in), or notification (silent whisper) per break, plus a guided breathing animation and a cursor‑countdown for eye rests.
- Native macOS experience: Written in Swift & SwiftUI—8 MB, cold‑launches under a second, menu‑bar icon with live countdown, global hotkeys, light/dark mode, and localization in 30+ languages.
- One‑time purchase, no subscription: No account, no telemetry, no tracking. Free 14‑day trial (no card required) and 30‑day refund.
Perfect for Mac users who spend long hours at their desk and want gentle, science‑backed reminders to move and rest—without interrupting flow or paying a monthly fee.
