Catnap is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that reminds you to rest based on active screen time. Set your focus rhythm, manually pause reminders for meetings, choose calming break screens, and keep recovery feedback private on your Mac. Free, no account required.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Shen, the maker of Catnap.
Catnap is a lightweight Mac menu bar app for people who spend long stretches at a screen. It follows active screen time: idle time, sleep, and time with your Mac locked do not count toward the next break.
You can customize work and break durations, manually switch to Meeting mode to pause timing and reminders, or choose Gentle mode for notifications instead of a full-screen break. Calming break scenes work across displays connected to the same Mac. Settings and recovery feedback stay on your device, and no account is required. Catnap is free; the home panel may show a clearly labeled advertisement.
I'd love to hear whether the reminder rhythm fits your workday, and which break scene or mode you find most useful. Thanks for trying Catnap and sharing your feedback!
