Your remaining time, at a glance
Start with a comfortable rhythm
Time to focus. Time to step back.
The defaults are a starting point. Adjust work, short breaks, long breaks, and the long-break interval to suit your day.
25min of work
5min short break
15min long break
A more considerate reminder
Natural breaks count, too
Pause the timer when you step away. A natural break that meets your configured duration can count toward a short break.
A reminder on every display
Break overlays appear across your screens. Snooze, skip, or pause when you need a little more time.
Make it your own

A few good questions
Which Macs does it support?
RestFlow requires macOS 14 or later and supports both Apple Silicon and Intel. The interface is available in English and Simplified Chinese.
How does meeting detection work?
It checks the foreground app’s identifier against supported meeting apps, such as Zoom, Teams, and FaceTime. It does not read meeting content, record your screen, or use the microphone. Browser-based meetings cannot currently be distinguished automatically.
Do I need an account or Internet connection?
Timers, reminders, and statistics run locally without an account. Your browser connects normally to the hosting service when you visit this website or its help pages; see the Privacy Policy for details.
Where is the app after launch?
Look for the eye icon and remaining minutes in the menu bar at the top of your screen. RestFlow has no Dock icon and keeps running when you close Settings.
How can I change the app language?
Choose a language for RestFlow in macOS System Settings → General → Language & Region → Applications, then quit and reopen the app. Otherwise, it uses the best match from your preferred languages.
