Catrace

Desktop app that reminds you to take breaks based on your actual mouse and keyboard activity

Desktopfree

Catrace is a privacy-first desktop app that tracks mouse and keyboard activity in the background, without reading screen content, to judge whether someone is actively working or already resting, then reminds them to take a break after a sustained work window. It also offers configurable water and eye-rest reminders, and can surface status notifications for AI coding agent sessions like Claude Code or Codex. It is built for desk workers who sit at a computer for long stretches and want activity-aware rather than fixed-timer break reminders.
