TinyTimeouts
Wellness breaks, scheduled in your calendar automatically
Break apps are easy to ignore - another notification, another dismiss. TinyTimeouts works where your day actually lives: your calendar. It finds the gaps between meetings and books real breaks - "10+ lunges", "Walk 10+ mins", "5 min guided breathing" - right in Google Calendar or Outlook. Pick the activities you like or add your own, set your work hours, show breaks as busy so meetings can't steal them, and tune how often they come. Works on Chrome & Edge.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built TinyTimeouts after noticing a pattern: I'd install a break reminder app, dismiss its notifications for two weeks, then uninstall it. The notifications were easy to ignore because they had no authority - but my calendar? I obey my calendar all day long.
So instead of another notification, TinyTimeouts books breaks as real calendar events. It connects to Google Calendar or Outlook, finds the gaps between your meetings, and schedules short, concrete breaks - "10+ lunges", "Walk 10+ mins", "5 min guided breathing". Every physical activity gets you out of the chair, and every title tells you exactly what to do, so there's no deciding in the moment.
A few details I spent way too long on:
• Breaks can show as "busy" - so coworkers can't book over them. Your calendar defends your break for you.
• A weighted variety system, so you don't get the same break twice in a row.
• Custom activities - type "10 squats" once and it joins the rotation.
• Work schedule + a cooldown setting, so breaks only land on your working days and hours, as often (or rarely) as you want.
• Scheduling happens in your browser - we never store your calendar data on our servers.
It's a paid extension with a 7-day free trial, on Chrome and Edge (Edge users: install from the Chrome Web Store).
I'd love your feedback - especially: what break activity would you add to the default list? I read everything and ship fast. 🙏

honestly love that it shows breaks as busy so coworkers can't just hijack that slot with a "quick sync". such a small detail but it's basically the whole reason a tool like this would even work for me.
finally something that pings me in google calendar where i actually look. set it for pushups between calls and it blocked the time like a real meeting so nobody could steal it
The idea of marking breaks as busy so they actually stay protected is such a smart move, exactly the kind of detail that makes this feel like it was built by people who actually live in their calendar.
The choice to mark breaks as busy so meetings can't overlap them is such a smart move - turns the calendar from a passive planner into an actual enforcer of rest.
