Caesura

What is Caesura?

Caesura is a menu-bar app for macOS that reminds you to take six science-backed breaks during the day: water, walking, wrists, eyes, posture, and breathing. Each reminder uses an interval based on research, not a random timer, and you can turn any of them off or change how they appear. It stays out of your way by pausing automatically during calls, screen sharing, fullscreen apps, Do Not Disturb, and calendar events. Breaks can show as a full overlay, a banner, or a standard notification. It’s a one-time purchase, with no account, no telemetry, and free updates forever.
