Frequently asked questions

Is BlinkBreaks free?

Yes. The break rhythm, break screens on every display, away-from-desk pausing and the menu bar timer are free and stay free — there is no trial clock and no account to make. Pro is an optional one-time unlock for extras like long breaks and the full Smart Pause set.

What does Pro add, and what does it cost?

Pro is a single purchase — not a subscription — made inside the app. It unlocks long breaks, the full Smart Pause set, snooze and skip limits, custom break screens and posture reminders, on every Mac signed in with your Apple ID.

What macOS versions are supported?

BlinkBreaks requires macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later.

Does it work with multiple monitors?

Yes. Break screens appear on every connected display at the same moment, on both plans.

How do I configure break intervals?

Open the main window and go to the Rhythm tab. Focus length runs from 10 to 60 minutes and eye rest from 10 to 60 seconds. The menu bar icon gives you start, pause and the time until your next break.

What languages does it speak?

English, German, French, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
