About Sane Break

NOTE: Sane Break works best with X11 and KDE Wayland. It works on GNOME but less optimal. It also works on other Wayland compositors with wlr layer shell and idle notify protocols support. The Flatpak version does not support locking screen or pausing breaks when specific programs are running.

Sane Break is a cross-platform break reminder designed to help you take meaningful breaks without disrupting your workflow. It allows you to take ownership of when to stop and break, and aims to strike a balance between respecting your workflow and ensuring you take the breaks you need. Specifically, Sane Break uses a two-phase system:

  • Phase 1: A small, unobtrusive reminder that encourages you to find a good stopping point.
  • Phase 2: The reminder grows to full screen during the actual break.

Transition to phase 2 happens when you stop working on your computer, or when you ignore the reminder and keep working for too long.
