Hey everyone! This is the first desktop app that I've created and I want to share it with the world!

Balance Timer is a simple desktop app that helps you manage Productivity and Rest periods throughout the day.


When a productivity session ends, the app opens in fullscreen to remind you to take a proper break. Once the rest period is over, it invites you to get back to work.


Taking regular breaks can help you:
🧘 stay mindful and connected with the present moment,
💤 battle fatigue,
🧠 improve focus and productivity,
🌱 move around more → health benefits,
🙂 improve your mood.


The app is available for Mac (arm64), Windows (amd64) and Linux (amd64). Download links can be found in the README on github, or in the Releases page!

⚠️ Heads up: since the app is free and open-source, it's not code-signed, so you might see security warnings on first launch. There's a dedicated section in README that talks about this in greater detail.

🐞 The app is fresh and hasn’t had much testing outside my own machine, so if you do try it, please let me know your experience, especially if you encounter bugs or have improvement suggestions – I'd be happy to hear those.

If you like the concept, I’d appreciate a GitHub star ⭐ too. Thanks for checking it out!

Cheers!
