Time Out on Setapp | A break reminder for Mac
We all know the importance of taking regular breaks to keep our productivity levels high and avoid burnout, but actually remembering to pause amidst a busy day can be a challenge. Meet Time Out, a nifty tool on Setapp that effectively incorporates the Pomodoro Technique into your workflow with customizable breaks. It’s designed to remind you when it’s time to take a step back from your screen, recharge, and return to work with renewed focus.
Key Features
Time Out is not just another break reminder; it’s a certified safe-to-use app, notarized by Apple, ensuring no malicious software comes bundled with it. Here’s why Time Out might just be the productivity companion you need:

- Theming Your Breaks: Enjoy a variety of themes during your break, or, if you’re feeling creative, customize or create your own with basic web standards.
- Intelligent Break Skipping: Time Out knows when you’re in the zone. Set conditions to skip breaks when certain apps are running, ensuring that your productivity isn’t interrupted unnecessarily.
- Interactive Break Alerts: Have Time Out speak to you, play music, or run an Automator Workflow to signal your breaks. Engaging alerts make it hard to ignore those much-needed pauses.
- Activity Tracking: Keep tabs on how you spend your time with Time Out’s activity tracking, which shows your app usage and how often you’re taking breaks.
