Log every break you take from the screen.

Q: Why do screen breaks matter at all?

They ease eye strain, reset your posture, and break the sit-still loop that turns into neck and back pain. Lots of small breaks beat one big one at the end.

Q: What's a screen break streak for?

It's consecutive days you hit your break goal. The streak turns a forgettable chore into a thing you don't want to break, and that's the whole game.

Q: How often should I take breaks at my desk?

Roughly every 45–60 minutes for a short one, with an eye rest every 20. Frequency beats length: lots of small breaks stop strain before it builds, which is the default goal here.

Q: What's a good microbreak schedule for desk work?

Eye rest every 20 minutes, a stand-and-reset every 45, a two-minute move every 90. Keep them tiny and you barely notice; that's why they stick.

Q: Does logging breaks actually change the habit?

Seeing the pattern does. The weekly heatmap makes the gaps visible, and a visible streak is one of the few things that reliably keeps people taking the next break.

Tap each time you step away. Watch the streak grow and the stiffness leave, one break at a time, with no app telling you off.

· Coach's note ·

Breaks are the cheapest health move there is, and the easiest to skip. This tracker just makes the skip visible. Tap every time you step away. The streak does the nagging for you, and your neck stops keeping score.

The science behind it

Sitting still for hours is its own risk: the body expects to move, and static loading on the neck and lower back is what produces end-of-day ache. Micro-breaks every hour drop that load before it accumulates; the research favors frequency over length.

There's a visual-system angle too: stepping away resets the close-focus cramp and lets you blink normally again. The heatmap isn't decoration: seeing the pattern is what makes people actually take the next break instead of 'later'.
