Automatically monitor work patterns and send personalized break reminders with wellness suggestions, mimicking the caring attention of an AI desk companion.

Workflow Steps

1

RescueTime

Monitor work activity

Install RescueTime to track active application usage, websites visited, and overall computer activity patterns. Set up categories for different types of work (coding, meetings, email) to understand work intensity levels.

2

Zapier

Analyze activity patterns

Create Zapier workflows that trigger when RescueTime detects extended periods of high-focus work (2+ hours) or signs of digital fatigue. Set up conditions based on time of day and activity intensity.

3

Microsoft To Do

Schedule break reminders

Automatically create timed break reminder tasks in Microsoft To Do with specific wellness suggestions: eye exercises after screen-heavy work, stretching after long coding sessions, or short walks after intense meetings.

4

Calendly

Block break time

Automatically block 10-15 minute 'wellness breaks' in your calendar through Calendly's API when certain activity thresholds are met, preventing others from booking meetings during your needed rest periods.
