Sitting at your computer all day? Your body is paying the price. Healthy Breaks helps you build sustainable wellness habits with smart, gentle reminders that keep you healthy without disrupting your workflow. 🎯 WHAT IT DOES Healthy Breaks is a privacy-first Chrome extension that reminds you to take essential health breaks throughout your workday. Unlike intrusive apps that demand immediate attention, our smart notification system respects your flow while keeping your health on track. We cover all aspects of desk work wellness: 👁️ EYE BREAKS - Combat digital eye strain The 20-20-20 rule in action: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Reduce headaches, dry eyes, and fatigue from prolonged screen time. 💧 WATER BREAKS - Stay hydrated effortlessly Regular hydration reminders that keep your energy up and your mind sharp. No more afternoon slumps from dehydration. 🚶 MOVEMENT BREAKS - Fight the sitting disease Stand up, stretch, and walk around. Combat the harmful effects of prolonged sitting with gentle movement prompts. 🧘 POSTURE CHECKS - Protect your spine Subtle reminders to realign your posture, preventing neck pain, backaches, and long-term musculoskeletal issues. ✋ HAND & WRIST CARE - Prevent RSI Stretch fingers and flex wrists to avoid repetitive strain injuries, carpal tunnel, and hand fatigue from typing. 🧠 MENTAL RESETS - Clear your mind Short breaks to disengage, reducing stress and preventing burnout. Step away and return refreshed. 🫁 DEEP BREATHING - Instant stress relief Guided breathing exercises to lower cortisol, increase oxygen, and calm your nervous system in just 60 seconds. ✨ WHY USERS LOVE HEALTHY BREAKS 🔒 COMPLETE PRIVACY Zero data collection.
