Eye breaks
The 20-20-20 habit, made keepable. Both intervals are yours to set.
Blink. Breathe. Look away. Let your eyes relax.
Focus works better with recovery. Look into the distance for a moment.
Ten lines, never the same one twice in a row.
A macOS menu bar app
Atmosphere, not an alarm.
A menu bar app for screen breaks. The edges of your screen warm before each one, so the break arrives instead of interrupting.
No window, no badge, no sound — just the mark in the menu bar. Step away and that already counts as the break.
A minute out, the edges darken inward and a glow gathers low. Snooze, skip, or ignore it — the break still arrives.
The screen blurs behind a countdown. When it fades, every window is exactly where you left it.
Quiet by design
It knows when to stay out of the way.
Meeting-safe
Pauses during calls, screen sharing and fullscreen apps.
Away already counts
Leave the keyboard long enough and that was the break.
Three strengths
Gentle, Balanced or Strong — how far the fade goes.
Snooze and pause
Five minutes to until tomorrow, all one click deep.
One suggestion, at most
After three skips, one adjustment — offered in the menu, never over your work.
Menu bar, not the Dock
No window, no Dock icon, no notifications. Starts at login.
Two kinds
For your eyes, and for the rest of you.
Movement breaks
One small movement instead — neck, shoulders, back, hands, whole body — with a drawn figure to copy.
Roll your shoulders back a few times, slowly.
Stand if that suits you, or shift how you are sitting.
Every prompt names a movement, never an outcome. All of them work sitting down.
Privacy
One email. Nothing else.
Starting the trial asks for your email, once. That is the only thing Horizon ever sends that's about you — so you can be told about updates, and reached if a macOS release needs a new build.
Nothing about how you use it is collected. Settings and daily counts live in your Mac's own preferences. No account, nothing to sign in to — not even to buy it: your licence is verified on your own Mac, so activation doesn't phone anywhere. After that, the only network request is Check for Updates, and only when you ask for it.
no accounts
no usage tracking
no cloud sync
no ads
Run Little Snitch against it if you'd rather check than take our word for it. The full privacy page is short and says exactly what's kept and how to have it deleted.
Price
Fourteen days, then $19.99.
Everything is unlocked from the moment you install it. Nothing is held back for the paid version, because there isn't one — there's just Horizon, and a fortnight to decide whether you want to keep it.
One payment. Updates included. No subscription, and no account to create — your licence is a signed key that Horizon checks on your own Mac. The email you started the trial with is the only record kept.
14-day trial
one-time $19.99
no subscription
no account
$12 for the first two weeks, or the first 100 licences — whichever ends first. After that it's $19.99.
