Time to Walk is a lightweight Chrome extension for people who spend long hours working or studying at a desk. Pomodoro-style focus intervals and fullscreen reminders build movement into your work rhythm. When a session ends, a fullscreen page asks you to stand—without streaks to protect or exercise goals to complete.
站起来，哪怕只有一秒，也算一次胜利。
Most break reminders are easy to dismiss without noticing. Others turn basic movement into another system to manage. I wanted a gentler middle ground: a clear interruption at the right moment, with just enough friction to make the choice conscious.
- 15, 25, 30, 45, or 60-minute focus intervals
- Fullscreen stand-up reminders
- Three-click early dismissal to reduce reflexive skipping
- Automatic close after five minutes, followed by the next focus session
- Optional prompts to get water, stretch, look into the distance, or walk
- Two switchable visual themes
- Friendly English and Chinese copy
- Automatic pause while the device is locked
- Timer recovery after browser interruptions
- Movement without performance. No check-ins, targets, streaks, or exercise tracking.
- Friction with an escape hatch. Three clicks make early dismissal deliberate; the reminder still closes automatically.
- Local by default. No account, analytics, or personal data collection. Timer state and preferences remain in the browser.
- Resilient timing. Persistent deadlines and Chrome alarms keep sessions reliable when the extension background process is suspended.
- Chrome Extension Manifest V3
- Native HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
