the problem isn't focus.
it's never coming up for air.

Deep work is great until it's four hours later, your shoulders are at your ears, and you can't remember the last time you stood. A break reminder app exists for one reason: to interrupt the trance before it costs you, so you step away, reset, and come back sharper.

Supermoo's twist is that the break is movement. Not "scroll your phone for ten minutes," but stand up, stretch, walk to the window for sixty seconds. It's the kind of break that actually resets your body, not just your tab.

Love the Pomodoro technique? Supermoo slots right in: it's the nudge that makes sure the break actually happens instead of getting skipped "just this once" for the fifth time.

break reminder questions.

What is a break reminder app?

It's an app that prompts you to step away from work at regular intervals, so you don't focus for hours without pausing. Supermoo nudges you once an hour to take a 60-second movement break, with a character named Moo to make it stick.

Is there a free break reminder app?

Yes. Supermoo is free with no account and no ads, made by a nonprofit. It runs on iPhone, Android, Mac, Apple Watch, and Chrome.

Does it work with the Pomodoro technique?

It pairs well. Pomodoro structures your focus into intervals with breaks; Supermoo is the part that actually prompts the break so you don't skip it. You can adjust how often Moo nudges you.

Can I control when it reminds me?

Yes. You set how often Moo nudges you, add quiet hours, and pause it entirely before a meeting or a call. It's a helpful tap, not a nag.

take the break. it's free.

One tap to install, no account, nothing to lose. Your shoulders have notes.
