StepAway

A macOS menu bar app that reminds you to take walking breaks. I find that when using an AI it is too easy to forget to do this. It was entirely written by Claude. I welcome contributions (like a better icon).

StepAway Alert

What it does

  • Shows a countdown timer in your menu bar: 🚶 45:00
  • Alerts you when it's time to step away
  • Pauses automatically when you're away from your computer
  • Resumes when you return

StepAway Menu

Install

Download

  1. Download the latest DMG from Releases
  2. Open the DMG and drag StepAway to Applications
