A break reminder you can't skip
Three protection levels, from a corner notification to a break with no in-app early-unlock option. Windows system controls remain available. Plus a five-minute test for any break app's enforcement claims.
What StopBurnout actually does
Windows break reminder features
Four pages, one idea: a break only counts if it happens. Below is how the break is enforced, why it covers every screen you own, how the timer stays fair enough to live with, and why none of it needs to know who you are.
A break that covers every monitor
The second screen is where most break apps quietly fail. Per-display overlays, mixed DPI, ultrawides, virtual desktops and monitors plugged in mid-break.
Activity-based break timer for Windows
The timer uses recent input and credits idle time as recovery. Passive reading and calls can count as idle too; choose the threshold that fits your work.
Private break tracking on Windows
No account or telemetry. Break history stays on your PC; license activation and periodic update checks use the internet.
Try the whole thing for two weeks
The complete Windows app, free for 14 days — no account, no installer, no telemetry. If it doesn't change how your afternoons feel, delete the folder.
