Hydrate Break Bell

A mini Pomodoro-style reminder that nudges you every 25 minutes to take a water break.

Hydrate Break Bell is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to remind users to take a short water break every 25 minutes. It follows a simple mini Pomodoro-style rhythm to support healthier work habits during study sessions, office work, browsing, or other computer-based tasks. When the user starts the reminder cycle from the popup, the extension schedules a repeating 25-minute interval. At each interval, it displays a notification with the message: “Go drink some water!” The popup also shows whether the reminder cycle is currently active and indicates when the next reminder is expected. The extension is intentionally focused and minimal. It does not access website content, browsing history, tabs, cookies, personal accounts, or remote servers. It only uses the Chrome alarm system to schedule recurring reminder events and the Chrome notification system to display local reminder messages. Hydrate Break Bell is useful for users who want a simple, privacy-friendly way to remember regular hydration breaks while using Chrome, without unnecessary features or permissions.
