Ergoblin

When did you last drink water? Be honest. You don't even know. Break reminder app for Mac and Windows, from a goblin with opinions. Eyes, posture, movement, hydration, breathing, mental rest, sleep.

A hydration break. Your kidneys wrote it, I just deliver it.

A posture break after two "Later's". I remember every Later.
Where I live. The menu bar, between your clock and your regrets.

Go Deep. Fullscreen, audio, an actual reset. The opposite of a notification.

What is Ergoblin?

Here's what's happening. You found this page because the break app you have isn't working. Not broken. Ignored. You tuned it out by day 3, because a polite chime is easy to ignore and it never once got under your skin.

I'm Ergo. I'm a goblin. I live in menu bars on Mac and Windows, and my whole job is being harder to ignore than a chime.

7 break types: eyes (yes, including 20-20-20), posture, movement, hydration, breathing, mental rest, and sleep. Every message is written fresh. I don't repeat myself, so you can't learn to stop hearing me. 3 personalities: Simple, Snarky when you can take the truth, Wholesome for your better days. When a reminder isn't enough, Go Deep is a fullscreen guided break with imagery and audio. A real reset, not a suggestion you swipe away. There are shareable break cards, if you're the type to brag about self-care.

The parts your last break app hopefully got right, I kept: no analytics, no tracking, no ads. 5 day trial with no credit card. After that, a free tier covers the basics forever, or $2.99 a month ($24.99 a year) unlocks the full goblin. Download me or keep scrolling. Either way: shoulders. Down.

There you go.
