BreakMode, your new best friend giving you a break, when you decide!

Hey Product Hunt community!

I’m Gill, a technical product manager who spent years coordinating complex projects, tracking critical dependency paths, and managing timelines. On weekends, I DJ and create. For years, I had a digital graveyard of "great app ideas" sitting untouched in my Apple Notes.

One day, after looking up at 5 PM realizing I had spent the last 8 hours glued to back-to-back meetings without standing up, stretching, or drinking a single glass of water, it hit me: our calendars have become bullies.

So, I decided to stop planning and start shipping. I built BreakMode.

Think if Sunsama, Motion, and a Pomodoro timer having a baby. Except this baby doesn't force a complex workflow on you, and it doesn't charge you $30/month just to protect your right to eat lunch.

How it actually works:

Unlike standard timers, BreakMode connects directly to your Google or Apple Calendar feed. You set your preferences once (min/max breaks, preferred days, time slots) and our dynamic algorithm shields breaks in your day automatically. If a meeting shifts, your breaks instantly slide out of the way. No ghost slots. No friction.

I literally just came back from a two-week vacation where I used the app to force myself to stay off-grid, and our approved version is hitting the App Store Thursday!

If you're tired of work taking over your schedule, I would love it if you booked a spot on our launch landing page today, and gave your honest design, UX, and scheduling feedback on our launch page.

Let me know your biggest calendar pet peeves in the thread below and would love any/all feedback on the app itself, if you're down to give BreakMode a go!
