About TinyTimeouts
Traditional break reminder apps often fail because they rely on pop-up notifications that are simple to ignore or dismiss when you are busy. TinyTimeouts takes a fundamentally different approach by integrating wellness directly where your workday actually lives: your calendar.
Designed as a browser extension for Google Chrome and Edge, TinyTimeouts automatically scans for gaps between your meetings and books real, actionable breaks—such as 10+ lunges, a 10-minute walk, or 5 minutes of guided breathing. You can fully customize your routine by picking the activities you enjoy or adding your own, setting your preferred work hours, and adjusting the frequency of your breaks.
To ensure your self-care time remains protected, TinyTimeouts can mark these scheduled breaks as 'busy' so incoming meetings cannot steal your time.

- Customizable activities (choose pre-made or add your own)
- Available as an extension for Chrome and Edge
Cons of TinyTimeouts
- Limited to browser extensions for Chrome and Edge
- Relies on calendar gaps to schedule breaks
