Pokus vs Wait

Pokus is the interval timer that keeps reminding you until you actually take your break. Set your focus and rest cycles, and Pokus will persistently alert you when it's time to stop — no more pushing through when you should rest. Dismiss a notification? Another one comes. Still going?
