TameTime: Awareness Timer
A menu bar break-awareness timer with customizable alerts and automatic idle resets.
Useful for gentle reminders without forced work lockouts.
Two thresholds and selectable sound, notification or brief overlay options let you tailor interruptions.
Keep in mind: It is a habit aid, not a medical device or treatment for pain. It never enforces a break, so results depend on your response.
