About PauseIQ – Smart Break Companion
PauseIQ – Your Smart Break Companion for Healthier Screen Time
Spending hours glued to your screen? PauseIQ gently reminds you to take micro-wellness breaks — so you stay healthy, focused, and energized throughout your workday.
Unlike basic timer extensions, PauseIQ rotates through 10 different wellness activities across 5 categories — eyes, movement, posture, hydration, and breathing — so every break feels fresh and purposeful.
🔑 KEY FEATURES
🔄 10 Rotating Activities
Blink exercises, 20-20-20 eye rule, stand up, neck stretch, wrist stretch, posture check, drink water, deep breathing, shoulder rolls, and eye massage — all backed by real health science.
🎯 5 Wellness Categories
Eyes · Movement · Posture · Hydration · Breathing
Toggle each category on or off to match your personal needs.
⏱️ Customizable Intervals
Set your reminder frequency anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes with a simple slider.
🧠 Smart Idle Detection
PauseIQ automatically pauses when you step away from your computer and resumes when you return. No wasted reminders.
🎯 Focus Mode
In a meeting or deep work session? One click to pause all reminders. One click to resume.
📊 Gamified Tracking
Daily wellness score, completion streaks, and a progress bar toward your daily goal of 12 breaks. Stay motivated with fun compliments after each completed activity.
💡 Health Tips
Every reminder includes a science-backed health fact to help you understand why each micro-break matters.
🔔 Gentle Sound Alerts
A soft chime plays with each reminder — noticeable but never disruptive.
🕐 Work Schedule Mode
Only want reminders during work hours? Set your start and end times, and PauseIQ stays silent outside those hours.
📱 Share with Friends
Built-in sharing to WhatsApp, Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and LinkedIn. Spread the wellness.
💡 WHY PAUSEIQ?
→ Screen fatigue is real. The average office worker spends 7+ hours a day on screens, leading to dry eyes, back pain, headaches, and mental fog.
→ The 20-20-20 rule, regular stretching, and hydration breaks are recommended by optometrists and ergonomics experts worldwide.
→ PauseIQ bundles all of these into one lightweight, beautiful extension that actually works — no subscriptions, no bloat, no data collection.
