Stay healthy at work with reminders to take breaks away from your screen and desk. Look after your eyes with Screen Breaks. Occurring every twenty minutes, you should spend 20 seconds looking at something around twenty feet away to help reduce eye strain and fatigue. Sitting for long periods may be a risk to your health. Stay active with Desk Breaks, by breaking up long periods of sitting time with light activity.

I had a problem. In my meditation sessions I did not know when the sub sections of my mediation routines were supposed to stop. I did not want to open my eyes every few mins to see if the sub section is completed. So I made this app initially for myself. Thought others might benefit from it. I truly believe Tuirya (the fourth state) is reachable. And I believe Pranayama is one way for it. And Pranayama has physiological and psychological benefits too. This is why I want to help myself and others setup a consistent practice of pranayama. The pranayama sessions in this app are setup following Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Gheranda Samhita. I don't get anything out of this app. I don't intend to monetize it as long as I am able to bear the costs. I don't use your data for anything either. I just want the satisfaction of being able to help someone progress - psychologically and spiritually.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Turiya at weekly against Office Breaks's fortnightly. Office Breaks's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
