Focus Bear for iOS

Working non-stop for hours on end is a recipe for eye strain, neck pain and headaches. You’ll probably also not be particularly productive. Focus Bear lets you set up break reminders that will soothe your eyes, stretch your body and improve your energy levels.

‍

We recommend taking a break every 20 minutes, looking away from your screen and stretching your body. Doing a short burst of exercise (a microworkout) during the break can help boost your energy levels and improve your fitness.

‍

Doing sets of pushups aren’t everyone’s cup of tea so feel free to customise Focus Bear to do breaks your way. Some gentle stretching or deep breathing may be just what you need.

‍

‍

If you’re into quantified self, you can track metrics during breaks - e.g. after a break activity, “Drink water”, you can track “How many glasses of water did you drink?”

‍

‍

If you’ve ever used other break reminder apps, you might’ve been annoyed by their tendency to interrupt you at the worst possible times: you’re in an important meeting, sharing your screen when a break reminder comes up. “Not now!” We’ve got you covered - Focus Bear detects when you’re in a meeting and won’t show break reminders until you’re done.
