About I'm on Break

A break timer for lunch breaks, tea breaks and the fifteen minutes you are legally owed. Set the length in minutes, tap the biscuit to start it, and watch the biscuit get eaten as the time goes by.

When the break is over, the timer carries on counting upwards so you know exactly how far over you went. Tap the biscuit again to pause, or Reset to start fresh.

The timer is saved in your browser, so you can close the tab, lock your phone and come back to a break that is still counting.

How to use it

  1. Type your break length in minutes.
  2. Tap the biscuit to start. Tap it again to pause.
  3. When it reaches zero the overtime counter starts. Reset when you are back.

Questions

Does the timer keep running if I close the page?

Yes. The start time is saved in your browser, so the countdown is correct when you come back, even on a different day.

Can I use it as a Pomodoro timer?

Yes, set it to 5 or 15 minutes for the break part of a Pomodoro cycle. It is a break timer rather than a work timer, so it will not nag you to get back to work.

Why a biscuit?

Because a break without a biscuit is just waiting.
