breakrs

A simple, ergonomic CLI timer for taking breaks. Set natural language reminders with flexible syntax, get desktop notifications, and never miss a break again.

Why breakrs? Because typing "breakrs 15m stretch" or "breakrs go outside one hour 30mins" and having everything handled automatically is the quick and easy standard we should have.
No need for watches, phones, calendars, sticky notes, guis, bloated apps, etc. No syntax, no manual conversions and no handling. No configs or setup. No learning curve.
Type how you think and a notification pops up when you need it to. That's why.
