Break Reminder Timer

Summary

The Break Reminder Timer helps you work in focused intervals separated by short rest periods. You configure the work duration and break length, then start the timer. When your work interval ends, the tool plays an audible beep and—if you grant permission—sends a browser notification so you know to step away. Session stats track how many cycles you have completed.

How it works

1. Set your desired work interval (default 25 minutes) and break duration (default 5 minutes).
2. Click "Start" to begin the countdown timer.
3. When the work interval ends, an audible beep plays and a browser notification fires.
4. The timer automatically switches to the break countdown.
5. When the break ends, another beep signals that it's time to get back to work.
6. Completed cycles are tallied in the session stats panel.
