New in Restier

Breaks that help your body recover, not just stop the clock

Guided breaks turn a reminder into a useful micro-experience for your eyes, posture, breathing, and mobility, with variants based on break length.

Quick relief for neck and shoulders

Short guided sequences help release tension before your back and neck feel locked up.

Eye relief you actually do

Visual reset prompts and 20-20-20 style moments live directly inside the break overlay.

A more premium experience

Restier stops feeling like another timer and starts feeling like a modern, useful break coach you want to keep using.

Reset your shoulders and eyes

A short break to lower tension and rest your eyes without losing the rhythm of your day.

1 Relax your jaw and let the shoulders drop.
2 Look at a distant point for a few calm seconds.
3 Take a slow exhale and return with less strain.

Each break can surface a different suggestion depending on duration and your preferences.

Built by a developer who needed it

Why Restier exists

I’ve been a software engineer for 17 years. I love deep focus, but I can lose track of time and spend hours without looking away from the screen or leaving the chair. In my 20s that was fine, but over time it caught up with me. I wanted a modern, consistent experience across Windows at work and macOS and Linux at home. Restier started as my solution.
