Smart Pause
A timer that understands interruption.
Most break timers count down blindly. BlinkBetter combines local activity signals so reminders stay useful instead of becoming another thing to dismiss.
02
Video playback
Keeps a break from interrupting a film, lesson, or long-form video.
03
Focus apps
Lets you choose apps that should always hold the break timer.
04
Time away
Recognises idle time and avoids forcing a break the moment you return.
The complete app
Small habits, built into the workday.
Everything works together, and every purchase option unlocks the same complete BlinkBetter experience.

What is BlinkBetter?
BlinkBetter is a native Mac menu bar app for scheduled screen breaks, blink reminders, posture and hydration nudges, guided eye exercises, and private local wellness insights.
How is Smart Pause different from a normal break timer?
A basic timer keeps counting regardless of what you are doing. Smart Pause uses local activity signals to wait through calls, video playback, selected focus apps, and time away, then gives you a short recovery window before resuming.
Will BlinkBetter interrupt Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or FaceTime?
Smart Pause is designed to recognise calls in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime, and similar apps so a scheduled break can wait until the interruption has ended.
Which eye-wellness habits does BlinkBetter support?
BlinkBetter supports longer eye breaks, blink reminders, posture checks, hydration nudges, and five guided eye exercises: figure eight, near and far focus, rolling, palming, and slow blink.
Does BlinkBetter upload my activity or wellness history?
No. Breaks, exercises, settings, screen-time summaries, and wellness history remain on your Mac. BlinkBetter does not run product analytics or telemetry.
Is BlinkBetter a medical app?
No. BlinkBetter supports healthy screen-break habits but is not medical advice, does not diagnose or treat conditions, and is not a medical device.
