Frequently Asked Questions

Restier is a smart break reminder application for macOS, Windows, and Linux that helps you maintain healthy work habits. It reminds you to take regular breaks to rest your eyes and correct your posture, using techniques like the Pomodoro method.

Restier is available for macOS (version 11 and above), Windows (version 10 and above), and Linux (x86_64). All versions share the same core features and experience.

The free trial gives you full access to all Restier features for 14 days, and it is limited to one trial per device. No credit card is required. To prevent trial resets, starting the trial may require a one-time internet check, and reinstalling or deleting local app data won't reset the trial.

The Pomodoro technique is a time management method that uses timed work sessions (typically 25 minutes) followed by short breaks. After completing several work sessions, you take a longer break. Restier automates this process for you.

Posture reminders are gentle screen flashes that appear at intervals you set (e.g., every 30 minutes). These subtle visual cues remind you to check your sitting position without interrupting your workflow.

Yes! Restier detects all connected displays and shows break overlays on every screen simultaneously. This ensures you see the break reminder no matter which monitor you're focused on.

Idle detection automatically pauses the timer when you step away from your computer. When you return, Restier resumes where it left off, so you don't get unnecessary break reminders after a natural break.

Restier collects minimal data. If you purchase a license, we process your email address for licensing. For license validation and trial protection, we use a technical identifier of your installation (a derived hash) and store trial start/last-check timestamps. We may also collect usage statistics without directly identifiable personal data (no emails or names). We do not track your screen content, files, or any personal health information. See our Privacy Policy for details.
