What is DeskRest?

DeskRest is a simple macOS app that helps you take healthier breaks, reduce eye strain, and fix posture throughout the workday. It gently reminds you to rest with short and long break timers, posture flashes, and customizable exercises. The app detects meetings, calls, and idle time so reminders never interrupt deep focus. Personalize visuals, sounds, shortcuts, and schedules to fit your routine and rebuild better work habits without losing momentum.
