Drink water. Stand up.
Keep your focus.
Sipbreak is a menu bar app for water and movement reminders. It holds them through calls, screen shares and time away, and never takes your keyboard focus.
Sipbreak is a menu bar app for water and movement reminders. It holds them through calls, screen shares and time away, and never takes your keyboard focus.
Sipbreak holds every reminder through calls, screen shares and time away, then starts the clock fresh when you're back.
Camera on in any app, or a meeting app in front.
Zoom shares and macOS Screen Sharing.
No keyboard or mouse for 15 min. Set it from 2 to 60.
Reads event times from your calendar, on your Mac.
Nothing waits for you on the lock screen.
Optional, for films and deep work.
It shows up without taking focus, so whatever you're typing keeps going. It stays until you answer, and one line tells you why it came now.
Prefer the standard macOS notification? That's a setting, and so is using both.
Logs it and starts the next interval from now.
Asks again in ten minutes.
Waits for the end of your next call or break.
Moves on. Nothing to make up later.
Start from a preset and every interval stays yours to adjust. Sipbreak keeps reminders at least ten minutes apart, so two never land at once.
Add your own, each with its own message, icon and interval.
History shows your last 7, 30 or 90 days: what you logged, how fast you answered, the hours you tend to miss, and a few plain sentences about what stands out. No streaks, no scores.
Coming back from lunch never dumps 5 missed reminders on you. When your hold clears, the rhythm resets smoothly relative to your current moment.
Zero background computation between ticks. Built natively in Swift & AppKit — no Electron, no heavy webview layers.
Log water or movement instantly from anywhere on your Mac with `⌃⌥⌘W` or `⌃⌥⌘S`, or pause/resume with `⌃⌥⌘P`.
Trigger actions from macOS Shortcuts, Raycast, or Stream Deck using `sipbreak://done/water` or native App Intents.
Intervals learn per hour of day from your responses. Shorter where you respond, backed off where you skip — up to ±50% max adjustment.
Every event is logged in a local SQLite database on your Mac. Export your full history as JSON Lines anytime from Settings.
No subscriptions. No accounts. All features included from day one.
14-day money-back guarantee · Instant DMG download

Sipbreak detects full-screen windows and screen sharing automatically (Zoom & macOS Screen Sharing). Your audience will never see a reminder pop up.
Your license key is valid for up to 3 Macs that you personally own.
