| Versió | Data | Mida | Fitxers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.10.6Darrera versió | 1 d’octubre del 2026 | — | 32 bits EXE (NSIS) Notes de la versióWhat's new
Features
- pause on screen lock (#174)
Other improvements
- fix AppImage release and make it updatable (f388ef9)
- upgrade to Qt 6.12 for Windows and macOS builds (10a861f)
- mark GNOME 51 as supported (266cdb3)
Installation instructions:
macOS
Recommended installation method:
brew install allanchain/tap/sane-break
Alternatively, download sane-break-macos-x86_64.dmg if you are using an Intel Mac, or sane-break-macos-arm64.dmg if you are using Apple silicon. Open and install it. macOS 13 or newer are supported.
Windows
x86 version of Windows 10 or newer is supported. Older versions may be supported too.
- Portable version: Download the sane-break-windows.zip extract it. Put the .exe executable anywhere you like.
- Installer verions: Download the sane-break-windows.exe and run it.
Linux
For Debian-based distributions, there is a notoriously large number of derivatives, and many of them ship old versions of Qt and do not include the latest layer-shell-qt. It is impractical to create .deb packages for all of them, so we only provide support for Debian Bookworm and Trixie. (Unfortunately, Ubuntu LTS ships with a very old version of Qt and lacks layer-shell-qt.)
The difference between Bookworm build and Trixie build is the layer shell support. If you are using a Debian-based distro and a Wayland compositor with layer shell protocol support (e.g. KDE Neon), you probably need the Debian Trixie build. Otherwise, the Bookworm build is good to go.
For GNOME users, make sure to enable the GNOME shell extension with:
gnome-extensions enable sane-break@allanchain.github.io
AppImage version is experimental. It may or may not work on your machine. |

| 0.10.0 | 5 d’abril del 2026 | — | 32 bits EXE (NSIS) Notes de la versióWhat's new
Statistics Window (5013bfe, c2980c6, 4ff13b2)
Sane Break now records break sessions and related events in a local database, and surfaces them in a new Statistics window. You can browse previous weeks, review each day’s timeline, and inspect daily details such as break totals, postpones, and tracked time.
image
Meeting/Presentation Mode (e7564f8)
You can now pause break reminders until a chosen time with Meeting/Presentation Mode. It is designed for meetings, presentations, and screen sharing, and resumes more gracefully when that period ends.
meeting-window
Focus Mode (d8962b8)
Focus Mode lets you temporarily switch to a separate break schedule for planned deep work. Configure the focus schedule in Settings, then start a focus session from the tray when you want a more intentional, shorter-cycle workflow.
focus-window
Heads-Up Before Breaks (33421c6)
Breaks can now begin with a small heads-up pill before the actual break starts. It gives you a clearer early signal and lets you start the break immediately if you have already reached a good stopping point.
image
Reworked Postpone Flow (e7564f8)
Postponing has been redesigned to feel less punitive. Instead of pushing the cost into a big break, postponing now extends the upcoming break and shortens the following work session. This keeps the overall rhythm more regular while still giving you flexibility when you need a little more time.
postpone-window
More Break Window Customization (b063114, 2246c4e, 22f40ce, ac99030)
Break windows are much more configurable in this release. You can use background images, pick colors with a built-in color dialog, and choose how long the tray icon flashes before a break. The flashing pattern has also been reworked to feel more dynamic and noticeable.
image
Smarter Pause Behavior (a054e70)
Sane Break can now pause automatically when an unknown monitor is connected. This is especially useful for presentations or other situations where you plug into a display you have not marked as trusted yet.
image
Other Improvements
- Allow disabling big breaks and having small breaks only (9886efc).
- Added Ctrl+W support for closing the Preferences and Statistics windows (91e6c8c).
- Added Italian and Swedish translations, along with broader translation updates (5d4fb6b, c2aa0d4).
- Updated the project to Qt 6.11 (56c2c6a).
Fixes
- Fixed a crash in WrappedCheckBox::minimumSizeHint (cc7206c).
- Improved GNOME-specific window behavior so break overlays appear more reliably (dfc78a0, 5aaf45b).
