Long days at a laptop are rough on your body. ctrlhq nudges you to drink, move and look away from the screen, without a separate app or a phone buzzing.
Health reminders count active time at your Mac, so if you've just been away for five minutes, that already counts as your walk.

What you get
Health presets
Water, a short walk, resting your eyes with the 20-20-20 rule, posture, stretching and breathing.
Your own
Once at a set time, daily, on weekdays, or every so many minutes at your Mac.
Counts real screen time
Time away from your Mac counts toward the break, so you're not nagged right after one.
In the notch, not in your face
Reminders appear as a banner under the notch. Mark done or snooze in one click.
Questions
Do reminders use notifications?
