Rest
Rest is a productivity and wellness app for macOS that encourages users to take regular breaks from their computer work. It displays periodic reminders or break notifications, typically offering guided rest suggestions, eye-care tips, or brief exercises to reduce strain and fatigue. The app is designed for office workers, students, and anyone spending extended time at their computer, helping to establish healthier work habits and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury and digital eye fatigue.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find clear information about whether a native Apple Silicon build of Rest currently exists. The app may still be Intel-only, in which case it will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). We recommend contacting the developer directly to ask about native Apple Silicon support and whether an update is planned before that deadline. In the meantime, if you need an alternative that is confirmed to run natively on M-series Macs, consider apps like Time Out, Break Reminder, or Stretchly—all of which are actively maintained and offer similar break-reminder functionality with native Apple Silicon support.
