A calm, beautiful break timer for desk workers. Configurable intervals, animated stretch guides, and a strict mode that actually works.
Add to Chrome — It's freeSet breaks every 20, 30, or 45 minutes — or pick a custom interval. The timer runs quietly in the background even when the popup is closed.
15 office-friendly stretches with step-by-step instructions and animated figures showing you exactly how each movement works.
When you need a real break, strict mode shows a full-screen overlay on your active tab — impossible to ignore, easy to dismiss.
Track your daily break streak, total breaks taken, and minutes moved. Small numbers, big motivation.
Not a great moment? Hit snooze for 5 more minutes. No guilt, no nagging — just a gentle nudge when you're ready.
English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu. Auto-detects your browser language, or pick one yourself.
No accounts, no servers, no tracking. All your data stays on your device. MicroBreaks never sends anything anywhere.
Add MicroBreaks to Chrome from the Web Store. The timer starts automatically.
Choose how often you want to be reminded — 20, 30, 45 minutes, or custom.
When it's time, you'll get a gentle notification with a stretch prompt.
Follow the animated guide, take a breath, and get back to it feeling better.
MicroBreaks collects zero personal data. Everything — your settings, language preference, streak, and timer state — is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. Nothing is ever sent to a server.
