About HealthTick
HealthTick alternates a work interval with a rest interval and interrupts you when it is time to stand up. The break reminder can be a corner pop-up, a centred window or a full-screen block, and the countdown pauses if it notices keyboard or mouse activity during a break.
A daily goal, streaks, badges and charts of recent weeks encourage the habit. It requires macOS 14 or later; separate Apple silicon and Intel disk images are published on GitHub, and the developer also maintains a Homebrew tap.
