I stepped away from programming about 6 years ago to take care of my family and never really went back to it.
Recently I came across Claude Code and just wanted to try it out.
At the same time, my husband works 8–10 hours a day in front of a screen. So I thought I’d try building something for him.
I ended up making a small Mac app that gives simple reminders during long work sessions:
• blink / eye breaks
• posture checks
• short movement breaks
• optional focus timers
Nothing fancy, just something that runs quietly and nudges you once in a while without being annoying.
Honestly, I was surprised I could even build this after being away from coding for so long. Claude helped a lot, especially with figuring things out as I went.
The app is a paid app right now. If you do try it and run into issues, feel free to comment here. I’d really appreciate the feedback.
Here the app
Looking forward to building something more complex next 🙂
