Top Apps to help you focus

Most of us have found ways to cope with the so called "new normal". Some shifted their homes to home offices, while others continued learning from home. During this time, there is no shame in taking a break and focusing on your mental well-being. It's okay and it is normal to pause for awhile, re-energize, and take slower days.
Check out these apps to help you de-stress and calm down with your Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

Time Out — Break Reminders

It's easy to get so focused on work (or play) that before you know it, you've been sitting in the same position for hours. Time Out keeps an eye on how long you've been working and prompts you to take a break with a subtle notification (or by taking over your screen).
Micro-breaks every 15 minutes are great for clearing your head, while longer hourly breaks spur you to get up and move. And if you leave your desk on your own accord, Time Out is smart enough to reset its break timers accordingly.
