DeskRest 1.7.0: Seamless Break Integration and Enhanced Control
Your break reminders now integrate even more seamlessly into your workflow. DeskRest 1.7.0 introduces intuitive features that keep you informed without interrupting your focus, giving you greater control over how and when you engage with your wellness routine.
Break Countdown Right Where You Need It
The standout feature in this release is our cursor break reminder – a subtle countdown display that appears right next to your cursor, showing exactly how much focus time remains before your next break.
No more wondering when your break is coming or feeling caught off guard by notifications. The countdown integrates seamlessly with your workflow, keeping you informed without interrupting your train of thought. It's like having a gentle productivity coach right at your fingertips.
Take Control of Your Notifications
We know that sometimes you need complete focus without the temptation to delay or skip breaks. That's why we've added customizable notification controls that let you hide the Delay and Skip buttons when you want to maintain strict break discipline.
Perfect for those deep work sessions when you know breaks are essential but want to remove the option to procrastinate. You're still in control – you can always adjust these settings when your workflow demands more flexibility.
Uninterrupted Focus During Full-Screen Breaks
Nothing breaks the flow of a good break like accidentally hitting Cmd+Q and closing applications. DeskRest 1.7.0 now blocks Cmd+Q during full-screen breaks, ensuring your rejuvenating moments stay uninterrupted.
It's a small detail that makes a big difference in maintaining the mental reset that makes breaks so valuable.
Under-the-Hood Improvements
Beyond the headline features, we've enhanced several aspects of your DeskRest experience:
- Enhanced Flash Reminder performance for smoother, more responsive posture alerts
- Improved dock behavior DeskRest now appears in your dock when settings are opened, making it easier to access and configure
- Various stability improvements based on your feedback

Your breaks should feel natural, not forced. Your reminders should inform, not interrupt. And your productivity system should adapt to you, not the other way around.
