@p_d_d_t Having competitors mean having demands. That's good sign actually

The launch discount is already on the page:

I launched SmartPause on Product Hunt today.

The lesson behind the product:
Most break apps fail because they interrupt you exactly when you cannot stop.
If they are gentle, you ignore them. If they are strict, they eventually interrupt a call, screen share, or fullscreen work.
And once a break app breaks trust, it gets turned off.

So I built SmartPause around one rule:
A break app has to know when not to interrupt.
It is a native Mac menu bar app for micro breaks, Pomodoro, posture and eye reminders, and guided neck / shoulder / breathing resets.
It waits through calls, screen sharing, DND, fullscreen work, video playback, and calendar meetings before starting a break.

Launch code: PH30OFF gives 30% off Pro and Ultimate through June 30, 2026.

Would love honest positioning feedback:
Is the clearest angle pain relief, focus protection, or “native Mac utility that respects your workday”?

May the pause be with you.
20 sec eyes off screen.
3 shoulder rolls.
1 slow breath.
Tiny resets beat burnout.

[Luu Nguyen @nnluukhtn]

That’s why I built SmartPause for Mac.
I wanted something quiet that fit a real workday and could guide quick neck, shoulder, posture, and eye resets without interrupting at the worst possible time.

I spent around 6 months in therapy for chronic neck and back pain from desk work.
Therapy helped, but the bigger realization was that I kept going right back to the same routine: sitting too long, moving too little, and only reacting once the pain had already built up.

[Luu Nguyen @nnluukhtn]

The biggest improvement came when I treated breaks and posture resets as part of the work itself, not something optional.
Short resets, eye breaks, and changing position earlier helped a lot more than I expected.

[Luu Nguyen @nnluukhtn]

Yay 🤑, my first sale from https://t.co/idqZSNCUCu
