Eye breaks
The 20-20-20 habit, made keepable. Both intervals are yours to set.
Blink. Breathe. Look away. Let your eyes relax.
Focus works better with recovery. Look into the distance for a moment.
Ten lines, never the same one twice in a row.
A macOS menu bar app
Atmosphere, not an alarm.
A menu bar app for screen breaks. The edges of your screen warm before each one, so the break arrives instead of interrupting.
One cycle
Three moments, then it's gone.
-
01 Work
Nothing at all
No window, no badge, no sound — just the mark in the menu bar. Step away and that already counts as the break.
-
02 Arrival
The edges warm
A minute out, they darken inward and a glow gathers low. Snooze, skip, or ignore it — the break still arrives, you just saw it coming.
-
03 Rest
Twenty seconds
The screen blurs behind a countdown. When it fades, every window is exactly where you left it.
Two kinds
For your eyes, and for the rest of you.
Movement breaks
One small movement instead — neck, shoulders, back, hands, whole body — with a drawn figure to copy.
Roll your shoulders back a few times, slowly.
Stand if that suits you, or shift how you are sitting.
Every prompt names a movement, never an outcome. All of them work sitting down.
Quiet by design
It knows when to stay out of the way.
Meeting-safe
Pauses during calls, screen sharing and fullscreen apps.
Away already counts
Leave the keyboard long enough and that was the break.
Three strengths
Gentle, Balanced or Strong — how far the fade goes.
Snooze and pause
Five minutes to until tomorrow, all one click deep.
One suggestion, at most
After three skips, one adjustment — offered in the menu, never over your work.
Menu bar, not the Dock
No window, no Dock icon, no notifications. Starts at login.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your Mac.
Settings and daily counts live in your Mac's own preferences. No account, nothing to sign in to.
The only network request Horizon ever makes is Check for Updates, and only when you ask for it.
no accounts
no analytics
no cloud sync
no ads
no payments
no telemetry
Not settings you can switch off — code that was never written.
