Focus timer with exercise breaks

25 minutes of focus, then 5 minutes of break. The break is not a scroll through the news but a few short exercises and a look into the distance.

So you see the break even from another tab. The browser asks only after you click.

Keep this tab open. Browsers may slow down timers in background tabs, so a break can come a few seconds late.

Why this works

Short breaks during work reduce discomfort and fatigue and don't make work worse. A break with a bit of movement and a look into the distance gives the eyes and muscles more rest than a break with the phone.
