About Office Break

Office Break is a simple, privacy-respecting timer that reminds you to take active movement breaks during your workday. Set an interval, hit start, and when the timer expires the app suggests a random exercise. Confirm "Done!" and the timer restarts automatically - over and over, until you stop it.

Stay fit while working from home or at the office, without ads, tracking, or accounts.

Features:

* Adjustable break interval (hours + minutes) with sliders or manual input

* Configurable repetitions, fixed or randomized in a min/max range

* Three context-aware exercise modes: Home Office Workout (bodyweight strength), Home Office Mobility (yoga-inspired stretches), Office (subtle desk-friendly moves)

* 25 built-in exercises across all modes - add your own or disable the ones you don't like

* Optional auto-mode by weekday: bind a different mode to each day of the week (e.g. Office on Mon/Tue, Home Workout on Wed-Fri)

* Work schedule with per-day start/end and lunch break: timer auto-pauses during lunch and stops at end-of-shift; full night-shift support

* Freestyle mode after work hours for free-running breaks without exercise prompts

* Foreground service with persistent notification, screen wake-up, and full-screen lock-screen alert when the timer expires

* Configurable beep, vibration, and custom notification sounds (pick any audio file)

* Text-to-speech: exercise names spoken aloud in your language

* Home screen widget (Glance) with live second-by-second countdown, today's break count, current streak, and a one-tap Start button

* Achievements system with shareable cards (over 35 milestones)

* Local statistics: total breaks, reps, weekly trends, most frequent exercise - all data stays on your device

* JSON backup export and import via Storage Access Framework

* Material 3 theming, light/dark/system modes, accessibility-tuned (TalkBack, reduce-motion, large fonts)

* English and German UI
