Privacy-first break reminder, but Time Out and Stretchly already do this better on desktop.

Strengths
  • •No account or data collection respects privacy in a category full of tracking wellness apps.
  • •Under 1MB app size shows restraint and focus on core functionality only.
  • •Simple choose-when-and-how-long flow removes friction from starting break habits.
Weaknesses
  • •Break reminder apps are extremely crowded across all platforms with mature alternatives.
  • •iOS-only limits reach when desktop users often need break reminders most during work.

I created my first mobile app, could use some support

Handles everything from hourly posture checks to lifetime milestones — the flexible timeframe model (hour/day/week/month/year/lifetime) is the app's clearest, practical differentiator. The local-first approach plus promised multi-device sync and a lifetime purchase option signal a privacy-minded, mature product, but this still sits in a crowded habit-tracker space and will need standout analytics, integrations, or a unique community hook to break out.
