Screen Break Timer
Work in focused blocks and take healthy screen breaks on time — with sound beeps and browser alerts.
How to use
- Set how many minutes you want to work and how long your break should be.
- Press Start — the countdown runs in this tab.
- When work time ends, the timer beeps and (if enabled) shows a break alert. When the break ends, it beeps again and alerts you to get back to work.
- Every finished work block adds one to your completed focus sessions counter.
Tip: try the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds to rest your eyes.
Keep this tab open while the timer runs. Free, no signup, runs fully in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

Do I need to keep the tab open?
