Sane Break0.10.6

Sane Break reminds you to leave the screen at suitable points in your workflow, helping prevent breaks from being mindlessly skipped without interrupting work unnecessarily. Its gentle prompts are intended for meaningful pauses rather than constant, disruptive alerts. Users can postpone a break, pause or resume reminders, trigger a break immediately, and use meeting or focus modes when their schedule demands uninterrupted attention. Program monitoring, idle-activity handling, and controls for postponing or ending meetings help the reminder respond to what is happening on the computer, while command-line controls support scripts and status checks.

It suits people who spend long periods at a computer, including office workers, developers, and anyone who wants structured pauses during focused work. AllanChain publishes Sane Break 0.10.4 for Windows in the System Tools category as open-source software, with a cross-platform design that also covers macOS and Linux.

The Windows build requires an x86 installation of Windows 10 or later, or Windows Server 2016 or later; older Windows releases may also work, and the program is available in portable ZIP and installer EXE forms. macOS 13 or newer is supported through Homebrew or separate DMG builds for Intel Macs and Apple silicon. Debian-based Linux support is limited to Debian Bookworm and Trixie because many derivatives ship outdated Qt versions or lack the latest layer-shell-qt; Ubuntu LTS has the same relevant Qt and layer-shell-qt limitations, and the AppImage is experimental and may not work on every machine.

This release fixes a macOS crash caused by an unplugged display and corrects multi-display window placement on GNOME, while also improving how post-break activity inhibitors are handled.
