Take a break without being judged

BREAK - Mac menu bar app that lets you take a break without that co-worker giving you that "does this guy even work?" look. I made this app for a designer friend of mine that worked with a ton of judgemental jerks that don't know the benefit of taking a break from your screen every now and then. Hope you like it.

I made this super dumb simple app for a good friend of mine. She was so worried about getting judged by her coworkers that she couldn't even take a break during work hours. This really bothered me, so I figured there had to be a product solution to this. So here's what I came up with.

@raydawg88 for me it's useless as I mostly work alone but I've worked in environments where people are pushed to work all the damn time, so I see the utility here! Very smart.

@anna_0x Yeah that's another benefit of being able to customize your own icon for the "updating" screen. You can just make it your lock screen and watch dancing pandas jump around on a black screen 😉

@raydawg88 The product is great but isn't it better to help her figure out how to resolve some of her anxiety and earn the respect of her colleagues, maybe even take her breaks with them?

@raydawg88 Haha yes. Perfect 5 minute breaks. The only catch is you should have a mouse handy as trackpads take away all the fun!

@beaulebens You're welcome! Glad I could finally build something that helps you take a break at your home office 😉 Is that your way of saying that your wife has been judging you?
