Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m the creator of Restier. I’ve been a software engineer for 17 years, and like many of you, I love "the flow", but my back and eyes eventually started paying the price. I built Restier because I needed a break reminder that was smart enough to stay out of the way. Most apps either nag you during a Zoom call or don't work across the different OSs I use (macOS at home, Windows/Linux at work). A few things I focused on: Smart Silence: It detects your mic/cam usage so it never interrupts a meeting. Privacy: No screen tracking or audio recording. It just checks if the hardware is "in-use." Multi-monitor: It covers all screens so you can't just "ignore" the break on your second monitor. I’d love to hear your feedback: Do you currently use a break timer, or do you find them too invasive? What's the "dealbreaker" feature that usually makes you uninstall productivity apps? I’ll be here all day to answer questions! 🙂
