Great app. I didn't realize how long I'd be working myself without a break. My only complaint is that it doesn't identify when a calendar event is a lunch break, so it will think it's a meeting and book a break before/after it. Edit: Another issue I'm finding is that it will sometimes place breaks in places that don't work for me so if I try to move the calendar break hold, it does that but then creates a new break event in the original time that doesn't work for me.

It works really well apart from one thing: it adds breaks with a randomly picked label from my setup, and not as a default event. That means all my insights get messed up, e.g. break is created with label "team meetings" which is not only messes up my overview but give me the wrong insights later on if I look at how many hours I spent in team meetings.

Whenever I change other events or modify the length of the break events, it does not remove/modify existing break events - it creates new ones...

What a great little helper for preventing meeting and workload burnout. Such an efficient little thing. My calendar fills up and there is bot ensuring I get a much needed 15-minute break at periodic times throughout the day. I do wish it could be configured to send a notification of a break coming up. Right now it blocks off my time but since I don't get notifications, I often miss these breaks. Hope those are coming.

This is a game-changer. Too often, I found my calendar stacking up with back-to-back calls. This little tool has absolutely improved my day-to-day productivity and happiness during work. I get the breaks I need to refresh, reset, and stretch, and I don't have to think about carving out that time because BreakBot does it for me. 100% recommend this tool!

This app saves me from daily burnout! I was letting my calendar fill up with meetings and time blocks without giving myself time to recharge (or even take a bathroom break). And when I kept telling myself I would schedule "me-time", I'd always forget. But this plug-in helped me to take those well-need breaks each day. Without me having to even think about it. Now, I feel more in control of my days, full of energy, and mentally recharged (no matter how busy my schedule is). Thanks BreakBot!

Let's face it - we've all had those days where our calendars get booked all day without time to take a break, eat lunch, refill our water bottle or go to the bathroom. BreakBot solves this problem by adding breaks so "I didn't have time for lunch" never becomes a problem again :)

I love BreakBot! ☕️ It is so necessary for our mental health and productivity to take a step back to recharge once or twice during the day. It's easy to get wrapped up in daily activities, and it's great to have a reminder to step away from my computer and get a glass of water, grab a little snack, or step outside for some fresh air! I also love how it schedules my breaks right in my calendar like a little meeting with me- no more getting all booked up for the day with no leftover room for breaktime. This app is genius👍

I'm frequently in back-to-back meetings and this has been a nice gentle reminder to let my mind settle between big blocks of calls. Love it!

This plug-in really has really helped me to take a step back from the computer when I need it to catch my breath. Lots of meetings happening one after another these days, and it's SO easy to forget to pause and let yourself have a coffee break or step outside for a minute. 100% recommend!
