Break Bingo
A break reminder you play as bingo. When the bell rings, one square on your weekly card lights up: walk for two minutes, look far away, drink some water. Do it, tap the square, and line up five in a row.
Each break lights up one square on your weekly bingo card.

About Break Bingo
Break reminders are easy to ignore. Bingo is not. Break Bingo puts your breaks on a bingo card, so taking one feels like a move in a game rather than a chore.
The bell picks your break
When it is time for a break, the bell rings and one square on your card lights up, like a number called at a bingo hall: "N-34: Walk for 2 minutes". A notification tells you the move, with Done, dab it and Skip. Do the move, then dab the square.
A new card every week
Each Monday brings a fresh card of 24 break moves, drawn from 44: stand up, look 20 feet away, roll your shoulders, drink a glass of water, take four slow breaths, tidy your desk. Each one comes with a short line on how to do it. The center square is free.
Line it up
Dab a square when you have done it. Finish a row, a column or a diagonal and it lights up gold. The headline tells you how many squares you still need for a bingo, and the card keeps count of your bingos this month.
Fill the card, unlock a theme
Dab all 24 squares in a week and a new card theme unlocks. There are four: Paper, Mint, Dusk and Sunset.
The ball is the timer
The bingo ball counts down to your next break. Click it whenever you want a break now, and the next one is a full interval away.
Quiet and out of the way
Break Bingo lives in the notification area. Click its icon and the card opens above it like a Windows flyout, and it tucks away when you click elsewhere. Choose a break every 15 minutes up to every 3 hours, pick one of three bells and set its volume, pause whenever you like, and start with Windows.
Upgrading?
This is the new Simple Take a Break Reminder. Your bell and Start with Windows carry over, and so does your interval if it was 15 minutes or longer.
