How do breaks work?
Click Take a break in the app and pick how long. Tracking pauses and starts again by itself when the break ends.
- 1Open the Timerfly app and click Take a break.
- 2Pick 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 minutes or 1 hour — or type your own number of minutes and click Start.
- 3When the time is up, a small window says Break’s over. Click I’m back, or add 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
Back early? Click Resume. The whole break counts as break time, even if the computer slept during it.
