Pandan is a time awareness tool, not a traditional time tracker or break reminder. It shows you how long you have been actively using your computer, to make you aware and let you decide when it's time to take a break. We all know how easy it is to get lost in an exciting task.

I have personally tried a lot of break reminder apps and I always ended up uninstalling them out of annoyance. Often, I was in the middle of an interesting task, and then suddenly a fullscreen notification popped up, telling me to take a break and interrupting my flow. Pandan is not like that.

Pandan automatically detects computer activity through mouse movements, keyboard presses, etc. After some inactivity, the timer will stop, and it will restart when you use your computer again.

Optionally, you can also get a gentle reminder at a chosen interval.

Pandan also comes with support for Shortcuts.
