DeskRest

DeskRest is a break reminder app for Mac that helps you build healthier work habits. It runs in the background and reminds you to step away from your screen, check your posture, and rest your eyes. If you spend long hours at your Mac, small regular breaks make a big difference over time.

Key Features:
  • Short and long break reminders on a schedule you set yourself
  • Posture flash reminders that briefly appear on screen without stopping your work
  • Smart detection that pauses reminders when you watch a video or step away
  • Clock Out feature that locks your screen at a set time to protect work-life balance
  • Custom break exercises and routines you can create yourself
  • Break statistics so you can see how well you are sticking to your schedule
  • Cursor-following countdown timer so you always know when the next break is coming
  • Works with Apple Shortcuts for automation

DeskRest is a paid app with a 7-day free trial. After that you can buy it with a one-time lifetime payment. DeskRest has been getting good reviews from people who work long hours at their desks. If you deal with eye strain or back pain from sitting too long, this app is worth trying.
