BlinkAway: Micro Breaks
A smart break reminder that respects your work rhythm
BlinkAway is a smart Mac break reminder that adapts to your work rhythm. Set custom hours, days, and break intervals, then get gentle guidance through breathing, posture stretches, wellness tips, timer-only breaks, 20-20-20 eye reminders, and posture checks. It pauses during meetings, calls, videos, and idle time using camera, microphone, video, and idle detection, so reminders arrive at the right moment.
I built a Mac app to remind you to blink, fix posture, and take breaks
I stepped away from programming about 6 years ago to take care of my family and never really went back to it.
Recently I came across Claude Code and just wanted to try it out.
At the same time, my husband works 8–10 hours a day in front of a screen. So I thought I’d try building something for him.
I ended up making a small Mac app that gives simple reminders during long work sessions:
• blink / eye breaks
• posture checks
• short movement breaks
• optional focus timers
Nothing fancy, just something that runs quietly and nudges you once in a while without being annoying.
Honestly, I was surprised I could even build this after being away from coding for so long. Claude helped a lot, especially with figuring things out as I went.
If you do try it and run into issues, feel free to comment here. I’d really appreciate the feedback.

Looking forward to building something more complex next 🙂
