I love the idea of being reminded to take a break—for some, this is more important than being reminded to work 😅

Being reminded to take a break is actually what I need! Otherwise, I end up spending 4-5 hours at my desk without moving. Great product!

Love the idea of gamifying the taking breaks routine. That will surely incentivize people to take regular breaks and make the process more engaging and fun!
DeskBreak is a product that really resonates with me, and I'm sure many other desk workers will feel the same way. Regular breaks are essential for staying healthy, focused, and productive.
DeskBreak sounds like a great tool for improving health and productivity during long work days. The combination of personalized break reminders, activity tracking, and ergonomic tips make it super useful for desk workers.
Hey, I'm Miguel! 👋
I used to push myself to the limit working long hours without breaks, and it led to burnout. That's when I realized I needed a tool to remind me to take care of myself—so I built DeskBreak.
What started as something just for me has turned into a way to help others stay healthy at their desks too. With DeskBreak, you'll remember to stretch, hydrate, and take those much-needed breaks—keeping both your body and productivity in check.
