Pandan

Pandan is a handy app that really gets how important it is to take breaks when you're glued to your computer. As we age, we start to realize our eyes, hands, and backs weren't designed for long hours of screen time. There are tons of apps out there that yell at you to take breaks, but let’s be honest—that's not everyone's style.

Why Choose Pandan?

What sets Pandan apart is its chill vibe. Instead of being bossy, it lets you manage your own work schedule while keeping you in the loop about how long you've been using your Mac. It gives gentle nudges instead of harsh reminders.

Simple Yet Effective Design

This app keeps things simple! Its menu bar icon shows how much time has passed in your current session or the total time you've worked that day. If you click on it, you'll see a breakdown of all your sessions and total time spent on your Mac.

Track Your Sessions Easily

You can kick off a new session whenever you want to track a specific task. Plus, Pandan can automatically track user input and will even pause the session if you've been away from your Mac for too long. And if you want to continue an old session? No problem!

Gentle Reminders Feature

Pandan has this cool optional feature where it sends “gentle” reminders at set intervals. You can choose how they pop up—maybe as a notification or right in the center of your screen—whatever works best for you!

Create Custom Shortcuts

If you're into customization, you'll love that Pandan supports Shortcuts! This means you can run custom scripts when notifications come through. Want to play a sound or lock your screen? You got it! Check out some neat examples on the software page.

A Minimalist's Best Friend

If you prefer less strict break reminders and enjoy working at your own pace, then Pandan might just be the tool for you. It keeps things informative while giving plenty of customization options!
