Intermezzo — Stretch & Wellness Breaks

Gentle reminders to take breaks, stretch, fix your posture, and care for your mind throughout the work day.

In music, an intermezzo is a short interlude between the movements of a larger work — a moment to breathe before the next one begins. This is that pause for your workday. Intermezzo nudges you to take short, guided wellness breaks throughout your day. Each break mixes 1–3 stretches chosen for the time of day and what your body needs — neck, shoulders, hips, wrists, and eye-rest breaks for screen strain. Some breaks end with an optional mind moment: a gentle grounding prompt, a moment to savor something good, or a quick, private mood check-in — care for your mind, not just your body. Because you don't spend your whole day in the browser, Intermezzo reaches you with a system notification and a soft chime that work even when you're heads-down in another app. Snooze a reminder when you're mid-task, and pick it back up when you're ready.
