Active use, interruptions and breaks appear in a clear day view.
Choose your break

WHAT MATTERS IN THE MOMENT
Your PC use – factual and without judgement.
Not all screen time can be avoided. BetterRhythm first helps you see how long you stay active without interruption.
See the data boundariesBreak reminders
The intended default rhythm is 50 minutes of active use and a 5-minute break. The reminder stays compact, quiet and voluntary.

See your current session, detected breaks and local trends up to 90 days.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Clarity before you start.
The important answers about how BetterRhythm works – without promises the product cannot support.
What does BetterRhythm measure?
BetterRhythm locally records active PC use, sessions, breaks and the duration of the active foreground application. It does not record URLs, window titles, documents, screenshots, input or content.
Does BetterRhythm block my PC?
No. Reminders are voluntary, quiet and non-blocking. You decide whether to start a break, be reminded later or close the reminder.
What data stays local?
Usage data stays in the current Windows user profile. Cloud sync, a user account and cross-device history are outside the MVP.
Can I delete usage data?
Yes. The product includes a function to permanently delete usage data. Settings and licence remain.
How far back does the history view go?
The product defines a local history view for up to 90 days. The exact presentation remains part of technical validation.
Does BetterRhythm record URLs or content?
No. URLs, window titles, documents, screenshots, input, clipboard and content are outside the recording boundary.
