JUST A NICE LITTLE REMINDER

A little heartbeart comes on to the screen to remind you how long you've been on and disappears, I don't have to click it shut, like the reminder on mh iMac. Andit only counts *actual* keyboard time, and keeps track of what I want, or if I want to make it a single session (such as billable hourse, rather than watching cat videos) it' a snap to do so. Just an unasuming little app that gives you useful information about your comuter use.

Simple and useful

I needed to track how much time I spent working on something for volunteer hours, and I didn't want anything too fancy. Pandan worked great and I'm really glad I got it. One small thing I wish it had is a way to see the total time tracked over a certain time period, instead of just seeing your history and having to manually add the time to see the total. Overall really neat app, though!

Nifty tool that's great for lightweight timer alerts

I use this for 20:20:20 alerts: it's recommended that you take a break from computer screen every 20min and look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps maintain the health of your eyes, and is extremely important during the lockdown when a lot of people are WFH. I've tried a couple of other tools on Mac, and this one has been the best for my needs.

Amazing for eye breaks

Recently was warning by my eye doctor that I needed to take better care of my eyes as I was starting to get dry eyes. Apparently if you don't blink enough you lose the ability to sufficiently wet your eyes. On top of that people blink a fraction of the amount they should while staring at computer screens. This small little app has been a game changer to help me remember to take eye breaks without annoying me.

It's more useful than you think

My job involves me sitting on a computer all day long so I thought I didn't really need this app. However, you'd be surprised how often you get lost working on something and this app provides a gentle reminder that it's time to get up and about a little bit. Recommend! The dev's great too!

Minimally invasive and highly effective

Pandan is laser-focused on delivering a minimal UI to notify you when you've been staring at your computer too long. I appreciate that it doesn't get in my way, because often I need a couple minutes to finish what I'm doing when I get the notification.

Does what it says and does it well

I use this all the time to track my work. It's so simple and yet so powerful. No annoying extra window you have to minimize and maximize, just a simple timekeeper that you can reference unobtrusively to keep track. Love it

Maybe the best "breat" app there is

Could be better for me personally, if a feature is implemented that allows the "heart notification" stay on screen until clicked off (semi-force break), or simply reside into semi-transparent state if not closed. Update: developer has replied that it is possibel with customized "Shortcut" : )

Thanks so much for making this!

A lovely, thoughtful app provided for free. Perfect, unobstrusive interface, just enough to remind me about break times without disrupting my flow if I'm in a groove that I want to continue with.

Simple and Perfect

I need a reminder to get up and stretch every hour that wasn't an loud alarm. The notifiation is subtle and the fact that it logs time active on the computer is a HUGE plus. Great app!

So simple and elegant

Thanks for the great app - especially love the animated heart and the translucency effect on the popover reminders.

Help me keep track of my workday hours

Description

Pandan is a time awareness tool, not a traditional time tracker or break reminder. It shows you how long you have been actively using your computer, to make you aware and let you decide when it's time to take a break. We all know how easy it is to get lost in an exciting task. I have personally tried a lot of break reminder apps and I always ended up uninstalling them out of annoyance. Often, I was in the middle of an interesting task, and then suddenly a fullscreen notification popped up, telling me to take a break and interrupting my flow. Pandan is not like that. Pandan automatically detects computer activity through mouse movements, keyboard presses, etc. After some inactivity, the timer will stop, and it will restart when you use your computer again. Optionally, you can also get a gentle reminder at a chosen interval. Pandan also comes with support for Shortcuts.
