A lightweight Visual Studio extension that reminds developers to take healthy breaks and other tips without interrupting their workflow.

💡 What is BreakBuddy?

BreakBuddy is your personal wellness companion built right into Visual Studio. It gently reminds developers to take small breaks throughout the day — helping reduce fatigue, boost focus, and prevent burnout — all without breaking your flow.

🕒 Smart Reminder System

Automatically pops up friendly reminders at regular intervals (default: every 45 minutes).

Lightweight, stylish pop-ups appear at the screen’s edge.

Smooth fade-in/out animation with a shrinking progress bar.

Does not steal focus from Visual Studio while typing or debugging.

💬 Motivational & Developer-Friendly Tips

BreakBuddy includes dozens of creative, developer-specific tips — from posture advice to debugging motivation. Examples include:

“A five-minute break now saves an hour later.”

“Fix your posture, not just your bugs.”

“Deep breaths, clean builds.”

🔧 Built by Developers, for Developers

Created by Kiran Gudulkar, BreakBuddy is designed to remind us that coding isn’t just about productivity — it’s about sustainable productivity.

What’s new in v1.3?

BreakBuddy just got better at staying helpful without interrupting your flow.

✨ What’s improved:

Instantly close reminders with a single click. Hover over a reminder to pause auto-dismiss — read at your own pace. New tips related to debugging, clean code, productivity, focus, and wellness.
