As of July 16, 2026 the three tiers are $14.99 for 1 Mac, $23.99 for 2 Macs, and $44.99 for 5 Macs, all including every future update.

Lifetime vs subscription: the quick math
Wellness and focus apps in this category commonly charge $2–4 per month on subscription. Against that baseline, the 2-Mac lifetime plan pays for itself in under a year, and everything after that is free software. It also means the "will I still use this in month seven?" question costs you nothing — the license doesn't expire if you take a break from taking breaks.
How activation works
After checkout you get a license key by email. Install the app from the official site or the App Store, paste the key into the settings pane, and the tier you bought unlocks on that Mac — one key covers the number of machines in your plan. The full walkthrough of the install paths and first-launch permissions is indownload & setup.
Common pricing questions
Is there a subscription?
No. Every tier is a single payment with lifetime updates included — there is nothing recurring to cancel later.
Is there a free trial?
The official site doesn't advertise a trial as of July 2026. If trying before buying matters to you, the free open-source alternatives are a zero-risk way to confirm break reminders fit your workflow first.
Which tier should you pick?
Most buyers with a personal MacBook plus a work machine take the 2-Mac plan — at $12 per Mac it's the sweet spot, which is why the developer flags it as most popular. The 5-Mac tier only makes sense for households or very small teams.
Why do these prices differ from what I saw elsewhere?
Coupon aggregators often show the pre-discount prices ($24.99/$39.99/$74.99). The numbers on this page are the checkout totals with the public welcome discount applied, verified by hand — the "last checked" date above is real, not decorative. You can cross-check them anytime against theofficial pricing pageor theApp Store listing.
