Breaks brings calm Pomodoro support to Mac menu bar

Breaks is a free, open-source macOS Pomodoro app designed to stay out of your way. It focuses on the essentials: a menu-bar timer, focus journaling, streaks with forgiving rest-day logic, global hotkeys, and optional Calendar export, all with a local-first feel and no account or telemetry.

// ANALYSIS

The strength here is restraint: Breaks feels like a utility for people who want focus support without turning their desktop into a productivity dashboard.

–Menu-bar presence keeps it lightweight and always available.
–Focus journal and streaks add just enough structure to make the timer useful over time.
–Global hotkeys and Calendar export are practical power-user touches.
–The open-source, no-account positioning should resonate with privacy-minded Mac users.
