Smarter breaks = better output. AI-powered recovery, micro-therapy, and focus resets in 5 minutes. Because doomscrolling isn't rest. Built for remote workers, creators, and tired brains everywhere.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I used to take regular breaks while working, but somehow I came back more tired.
I thought I was resting, but really I was just scrolling on instagram, twitter, and back to the grind.
Then I started experimenting with “real” 5-minute breaks; a breath, some movement, a quiet moment. And surprisingly, I returned clearer.
That’s what led me to build Breaktime Buddy. A simple tool to guide intentional micro-breaks, based on how you feel and help you return to work refreshed, not drained.
It’s for anyone who's mentally overloaded but still trying to show up and do good work.
Hope it gives your brain some space to breathe 🌿
Let me know how you take your breaks.
"really I was just scrolling on instagram, twitter, and back to the grind." Struggle is real. Thanks for creating "Breaktime buddy"
This really resonates, @yunuserturk I’ve definitely had those “fake break” moments where I scroll through feeds and somehow feel more scattered than before
Love that you’ve built something to guide us back to mindful pauses — the kind that actually help us reset, not just escape. I’m curious to see how people start building this into their daily rhythm.
Congrats on launching something that puts our well-being first 🌿
Congrats on the launch. Great idea to create an app to help remote workers take breaks and relax. I downloaded the app and answered the onboarding questionnaire. A few pieces of feedback from the user POV:
- I’d suggest coming up with a different design for single and multiple choice questions, or add a phrase like “select all that apply.”
- The answer comes pre-selected, and the questions are similar. It makes one think “haven’t I answered this just now?”
- The paywall: Seeing only the 3-day trial and the expensive subscription price makes you think of those scammy quizzes that loads of health and fitness apps use on social media. Will the remote workers see the benefit in three days? Someone who has issues with taking breaks may even forget about the app and miss the chance to try it. I’d consider a week of free trial. If making this trial free isn’t feasible, then ask for a really low amount for the week, like “90% discount on your first week, then XXX per year”
Breaktime Buddy's focus on smarter breaks and mental well-being is so important! Taking intentional breaks can really boost productivity and health. Great initiative! 😊
Brilliant launch! 🚀 Finally, an AI that saves me from myself—no more ‘five-minute breaks’ that magically turn into lost hours of mindless scrolling. The 5-minute focus resets sound like exactly what my productivity (and sanity) needs.
P.S. Any plans to bring this lifesaver to Android soon?
I like the idea of guided micro-breaks that actually reset your mind. Can’t wait to try it! Congrats on your launch 🚀
Congratulations!
I thought I must get away from the eletronic devices to take a good break, but I found out that it's not, because of Buddy.
My phone is not a party of dopamine anymore with this.
I love how your team utilize AI to help humans. Good luck!
