What's new (v1.3.1) ✨ Do Not Disturb (DND) Mode Introducing Do Not Disturb mode — a new way to pause break reminders whenever you need uninterrupted focus. Whether you're in a meeting, presenting, or working on something important, you can now turn on DND to stop reminders temporarily. Once you’re ready, simply disable DND to resume your regular break reminders. ⏱️ “Next Break In” Timer Stay on top of your schedule with the new "Next Break In" display, showing exactly how much time is left until your next break. This new feature shows a live countdown to your upcoming break, so you always know how much time is left before your next reminder. It’s a simple way to stay aware of your routine without losing track of time. Update history v1.2.1 Introducing Advanced settings to that enables customizing break times and audio alerts. 1. You can now customize break times as per your comfort. Click on "Advanced settings" in the popup to expand the timings pane and adjust the duration for each type of break by dragging the slider towards left or right. 2. Enable audio alert to notify when the break ends. Lost track of time when you were relaxing during a break? No worries. You can now simply enable the "Break end notification sound" option in the "Advanced settings" and an alarm rings just before the break ends. Disabled by default. Toggle the switch to opt-in to the break end audio alert option. Make sure to click on the "Submit" button to save your changes.
