What is Rest FOR MAC?

Rest

Rest is a nifty little app for Mac that helps you remember to take breaks while you're working or just chilling at your computer. We all know how easy it is to get sucked into our screens for hours, right? But that can lead to some not-so-fun health issues like back pain, headaches, and even eye strain.

Why You Need Rest

This lightweight OS X app is designed to give you reminders at set intervals so you can step away and recharge. Not only does it help keep you healthy, but it also boosts your productivity. Who doesn’t want that?

How It Works

Once you've installed Rest, you'll see its icon pop up in your Mac’s menu bar. This little guy shows you how much time is left until your next break. Plus, it can give you a heads-up before your break time starts.

No Mouse? No Problem!

The cool thing about this app is that the timer only counts down when there's no mouse or keyboard action happening. If you start using your computer again before the break ends, the timer pauses automatically—pretty smart, right?

Full-Screen Notifications

If you're someone who tends to forget their breaks (guilty as charged!), you can enable full-screen notifications on Rest. It can show a random background image or even some quick exercise tips to help fight off those negative effects from too much screen time.

Customize Your Breaks

You can easily postpone a break if you're in the zone and can't stop right then. But once your break starts, Rest can block any activity until it's over—talk about making sure you actually take that break!

A Handy Mobile Reminder

If you're worried about forgetting to get back after a break, there’s an iOS app called Rest Beacon. It’ll remind you when it's time to get back! Unfortunately, there isn’t an Android version yet.

Your Productivity Partner

Rest does exactly what it's supposed to do—helping you take those necessary breaks so you can stay productive and healthy while working at your computer for long periods. Check it out for yourself!
