How this break timer works

This is a simple, free online break timer built for one thing: getting you out of your chair. Choose how often you want a reminder, 30, 60, or 90 minutes, and press start. When the timer runs out, Moo prompts you to take a 60-second movement break: stand up, stretch, walk a little. Then it resets and starts the next interval automatically. No account, no install, nothing to configure.

How often should you take a break?

A common guideline is to get up and move roughly every 30 minutes, even just for a minute or two. If you'd like the reasoning, see our guide on how often you should stand up, and some easy ways to move more at work. For the bigger picture, there's the full guide to moving more at a desk job.

Why a movement break, not just any break

Scrolling your phone is a break for your eyes, not your body. The point here is to interrupt the sitting itself, which is the part that quietly adds up over a long day. A minute of actual movement, often, is what the research keeps pointing to. You could also try a few simple desk stretches when Moo nudges you.
