Breaks vs TimeTaps

Breaks is a simple focus timer to help you do your best work. Breaks lets you easily timebox your work and ensure you’re taking adequate breaks, so you can focus better and be more productive. Breaks is designed to be simple as possible with no extraneous features. Too many apps today try to do too much and make it difficult to do the one thing you actually want the app to do. Breaks is a single screen. You set your work duration, break duration, and hit Start Session, and that's it! Breaks will remember your last used durations so when your session is over, you can go again with a single tap. - Start a focus session with work and break durations - Get notifications when the work portion is over and at the end of the session - Can do work-only or break-only sessions - Interactive widgets lets you see the current time remaining as well as start/stop/restart sessions
