Description

You deserve a break. Easy break reminders, with flexible customization if you want it. It is very easy to fall into bad habits when using a computer for hours on end. You care about what you are doing, so can sometimes push yourself too far, or over-strain yourself. The human body isn't built to sit in one position for endless hours, gripping a mouse or typing on the keyboard. Dejal Time Out is here to help. It will gently remind you to take a break on a regular basis. Time Out comes with two kinds of breaks: a "Normal" break, typically for 10 minutes every hour, so you can move about and relax, plus a "Micro" break: a very brief pause of typically 15 seconds every 15 minutes, so you can remember not to tense up too much for long periods. You can change, disable or remove either kind of break if desired, and add new kinds of breaks, e.g. fixed lunch or afternoon breaks. You can configure how long each kind of break lasts, and how long between breaks, and the breaks can be set to count backwards when you take a natural break, e.g. when you go away from your computer. The app features customizable break themes, with several variations to show during breaks. These themes can be edited if desired, or you can easily add new ones. While in a break, a progress bar shows how long till it is over, and buttons are available to postpone or skip the break if you can't be interrupted right then, and optionally end the break early. What's more, you can optionally perform various actions before, during or after breaks. You can display a notification, play a sound, speak some text, run a script, and more. Time Out is packed with features to customize it to suit your needs. It can be as simple or as powerful as you wish.

Version History

Latest: 3.0.3

- Time Out now requires a minimum of macOS Tahoe (26.0), and has been updated to support Liquid Glass, modern icons, and other recent technologies. - Added an Options menu button before Preview on the Break Appearance page, with commands to add a new theme, duplicate the selected theme, edit it, reveal it in the Finder, or delete it. - The Theme Editor sheet includes fields for the theme name and comments, author information, credits information, and a pop-up menu to choose the type of theme (see below). - In the new Theme Editor, choose Local HTML to add or edit a theme that uses HTML within the theme folder. - In the new editor, choose Website to add or edit remote themes, that simply show a web page. - Themes that play YouTube videos can be added or edited via the YouTube Video option in the editor. - A new kind of theme is Images; you can add any number of images or photos to show during a break. - Another new kind of theme is Text; you can add any number of text items to show during a break. - Updated several themes to use the new YouTube theme type. - Added new Coral World and Fireplace YouTube themes. - Added a new Checklist theme, that enables you to add things to remember and check them off. - Added a new Desk Exercises theme, that uses the new Text theme kind, with some simple exercises that you can do while sitting or standing near your desk. - The Exclusions page has been renamed Rules, since they are now much more flexible. - App rules now support "is" / "isn’t", to reverse the "open" / "frontmost" option, e.g. to skip a break if some app isn’t being used. - Calendar Events rules now group your calendars by account, if you have multiple accounts. And yes, you can now have more than one calendar rule. - A new built-in rule is Fullscreen Active, to detect when the frontmost app is fullscreen. Useful when watching videos. - Script-based rules are now supported. Four script-based rules are included initially: FaceTime Meeting, Teams Meeting, and Zoom Meeting to detect when actively in a meeting, and Valve Game to detect when using a Valve / Steam game. You can add your own scripts too. - All rules include a menu for what to do when the rule matches, including "automatically skip", "postpone" by several amounts, and two new actions as follows. - A new action is "ignore natural break". If selected, when a natural break is detected (the Mac is idle), and this rule matches, the natural break will not be taken. Useful when you’re passively watching a video, to make sure you still get breaks. - Another new action is "treat as natural break". If selected, when this rule matches, the app will act as though it is idle, even if you’re actively using it. Useful when you’re doing something that is equivalent to a break, like playing a relaxing game instead of working. - The File menu now includes a Duplicate Break command, along with the existing New Break command. - Enhanced the postpone/skip control limits option to per break, hour, or day. - Adjusted Reset behavior when From Last Done. - Clarified the supporter trial to reduce confusion. - The app data has been modernized in preparation for syncing, coming in a future update. - Plus many other improvements. Read the release notes on the Updates page in the app for full details. Version 3.0.1: - Fixed a crash when upgrading the data from version 2 if the [Statistics] page was set to show certain values. Version 3.0.2: - Fixed unintentionally removing custom scripts from the scripts folder while introducing Rules scripts. Version 3.0.3: - Fixed the Full Countdown to Next Break status option not showing seconds when less than an hour. - Fixed a possible crash when showing the Last Done Break Label in the status item.

Très bonne idée!

Javais entendu parler de Time Out il ya quelques mois mais jai pensé que lidée était plutôt débile. En tant quadulte je peux très bien me lever de mon siège tous les dix minutes si jai envie, nest-ce pas. Mais, justement, on le fais jamais. Avec Time Out un beau petit buddha apparaît tous les 10 minutes pendant lequel je fais dix secondes de yoga et apres une heure cest un pause de 10 minutes!! Je me sens déjà beaucoup plus détendu. Cest très zen. Faut vraiment lessayer por comprendre.

Pour les "encore une ultime minute et jarrete, qui dure des heures"

Je travaille toute la journée sur mon mac (comme pas mal de monde) et jai pas mal de soucis de cervicales car mon poste de travail nest pas ergonomique, conseil de losthéo: "faites des pauses toutes les heures". Grâce à cette appli je suis obligé de faire cette pause, je peux aussi repousser la pause de quelques minutes pour finir un mini truc ou pour tout enregistrer. Cette appli est devennu un must have pour ma part et en plus gratuite :D

Devrait-être obligatoire !

Excellent pour vous rappeler que lecran nest pas un membre de votre famille ... qui vous réclame par ailleurs.

Vraiment très bien

Je recommande cette application

Utile et efficace

Javais déjà installé webwatch sur safari pour "malerter" que je passais "trop" de temps sur mon mac mais Time out free est beaucoup plus efficace : il permet de "décrocher" régulièrement (selon ses propres préférences). Je lai même associé à White noise puisquon peut créer un script personnalisé au moment de la "coupe" : un moment zen ou un moment pour faire autre chose. il y a la version micro-pause ou normale. On peut en plus sauter une pause si on est sur un truc urgent ou la repousser de 5 ou 10 mn. Vraiment paramètrable selon son style de vie et dutilisation de lordi ! Parfait et gratuit, jadore !

Evite de rester coller devant son écran comme un gros geek des familles pendant des heures (jours?) entiers.
