PauseIQ – Your Smart Break Companion for Healthier Screen Time

Spending hours glued to your screen? PauseIQ gently reminds you to take micro-wellness breaks — so you stay healthy, focused, and energized throughout your workday.

Unlike basic timer extensions, PauseIQ rotates through 10 different wellness activities across 5 categories — eyes, movement, posture, hydration, and breathing — so every break feels fresh and purposeful.


🔑 KEY FEATURES

Blink exercises, 20-20-20 eye rule, stand up, neck stretch, wrist stretch, posture check, drink water, deep breathing, shoulder rolls, and eye massage — all backed by real health science.

Toggle each category on or off to match your personal needs.

💡 WHY PAUSEIQ?

→ Screen fatigue is real. The average office worker spends 7+ hours a day on screens, leading to dry eyes, back pain, headaches, and mental fog.

→ The 20-20-20 rule, regular stretching, and hydration breaks are recommended by optometrists and ergonomics experts worldwide.

→ PauseIQ bundles all of these into one lightweight, beautiful extension that actually works — no subscriptions, no bloat, no data collection.
