PauseIQ – Your Smart Break Companion for Healthier Screen Time Spending hours glued to your screen? PauseIQ gently reminds you to take micro-wellness breaks — so you stay healthy, focused, and energized throughout your workday. Unlike basic timer extensions, PauseIQ rotates through 10 different wellness activities across 5 categories — eyes, movement, posture, hydration, and breathing — so every break feels fresh and purposeful. 🔑 KEY FEATURES 🔄 10 Rotating Activities Blink exercises, 20-20-20 eye rule, stand up, neck stretch, wrist stretch, posture check, drink water, deep breathing, shoulder rolls, and eye massage — all backed by real health science. 🎯 5 Wellness Categories Eyes · Movement · Posture · Hydration · Breathing Toggle each category on or off to match your personal needs. ⏱️ Customizable Intervals Set your reminder frequency anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes with a simple slider. 🧠 Smart Idle Detection PauseIQ automatically pauses when you step away from your computer and resumes when you return. No wasted reminders. 🎯 Focus Mode In a meeting or deep work session? One click to pause all reminders. One click to resume. 📊 Gamified Tracking Daily wellness score, completion streaks, and a progress bar toward your daily goal of 12 breaks. Stay motivated with fun compliments after each completed activity. 💡 Health Tips Every reminder includes a science-backed health fact to help you understand why each micro-break matters. 🔔 Gentle Sound Alerts A soft chime plays with each reminder — noticeable but never disruptive. 🕐 Work Schedule Mode Only want reminders during work hours? Set your start and end times, and PauseIQ stays silent outside those hours. 📱 Share with Friends Built-in sharing to WhatsApp, Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and LinkedIn. Spread the wellness. 💡 WHY PAUSEIQ? → Screen fatigue is real. The average office worker spends 7+ hours a day on screens, leading to dry eyes, back pain, headaches, and mental fog. → The 20-20-20 rule, regular stretching, and hydration breaks are recommended by optometrists and ergonomics experts worldwide. → PauseIQ bundles all of these into one lightweight, beautiful extension that actually works — no subscriptions, no bloat, no data collection.
