The Mindful Break extension, designed for anyone who is working on the computer for long periods of time, is basically a simple application that offers two main functions:

  • Show notifications to the user as minute reminders from work.
  • View tips and exercises to take the break time.

Sitting in front of a computer for eight or more hours isn't particularly healthy, especially if you don't take regular breaks. These breaks, big and small, are necessary for her you.

Mindful Break can help you remember to take regular breaks and use those breaks with something meaningful. Especially the workers in IT professionals tend to spend their breaks in front of the computer doing other activities.

The extension adds an icon to the main Chrome toolbar with which you can interact. Clicking on the icon shows some tips and choices for breathing exercises.

Clicking the "try a breathing exercise" link displays a one-minute clip that helps you inhale and exhale during this time period. There is an option for full screen view to stay focused on the exercise and not be distracted by the screen.

Mindful Break will not show notifications by default. The default s is set to send none. you will need to open extensions in Chrome (chrome://extensions) to enable notifications from there.

Options include displaying periodic alerts, e.g. every 2 hours, at a specific time, e.g. 12:00 p.m. or randomly throughout the day.

You can limit notifications to only appear during a specific time period and specify the type of notification you want the extension to use. Pro notifications are supportedτος περιήγησης, οι ήχοι ή οι ειδοποιήσεις με εικονίδια.

The extension works outside s and only requires notification permissions during installation. It has not been updated since 2017. You can download from here.

Briefly:
Mindful Break is a useful extension for Chrome users and can also be performed on other Chromium-based browsers. It aims to address the health problems created by long-term use of the computer.
Expansion only suggests breathing exercises. It would be great to support other health-related exercises, eg. for eyes or muscle stretching, etc.
There are software for computers such as Eye Defender or Break Taker, which offer similar functionality.
