Pausr alternative for Windows

• Mac only. The download page offers macOS 12 and later, with Apple Silicon and Intel DMG files. Windows is not available. A Windows version is planned, and the download page has a waitlist.
• Subscription pricing is about $6 a month, billed once a year, or $129 one-time for a lifetime license. Every plan licenses up to 3 Macs. Team and volume licenses are described as coming later.
• 7-day fully unlocked trial with no card. On day 7 it locks to the purchase screen. Reinstalling does not grant a second week. The site says there is no money-back window because of the trial.
• Break types on the site: an eye break of 20 seconds every 20 minutes, a stand-up break of 90 seconds, and a long break of 15 minutes about every two hours.
• Announces breaks about 30 seconds ahead so you can start or snooze.
• Claims it waits during meetings and calls, screen sharing, and fullscreen games without reading screen content.
• Local app-by-app screen-time stats. No account is required. It works offline after license validation.

Both are paid desktop break reminders aimed at people who work at a screen.

CapyBreaks is on Windows today. Pausr is Mac only, and its Windows version has not shipped. Personal is $14.99 once for up to 3 devices, a lower one-time price than Pausr's $129 lifetime license. Pausr also sells a subscription of about $6 a month, billed once a year, and each of its plans covers up to 3 Macs. Team is $9.99 per seat. Pausr's breaks are an eye break of 20 seconds every 20 minutes, a 90-second stand-up break, and a 15-minute long break about every two hours. Pausr announces a break about 30 seconds ahead so you can start or snooze, and it keeps local app-by-app screen-time stats. CapyBreaks reminds you about eyes, hydration, stretching, and posture, with Cappy. Pausr claims it waits during meetings and calls, screen sharing, and fullscreen games. A reminder that comes due while the microphone is in use, or while a fullscreen app is active, is skipped and the timers start over. On Windows, reminders also pause when Windows reports presentation mode. On Mac, a presentation in a window that does not fill the screen does not by itself pause reminders. Default idle detection skips a due reminder after 5 minutes without keyboard or mouse and starts the timers over. A screen share by itself does not pause reminders.
