Break
before
you break.

Short recoveries, placed with intent — so fatigue doesn't get there first. Up Yet is a rest reminder for people who do deep work on their phone.

FEATURES

Designed around the cadence of work you already have.

Not another habit tracker. Up Yet sits quietly, and speaks up exactly when it matters.

REMINDER STRENGTH

Three levels of nudge.

Pick the one that fits the work. Switch mid-day if you need to.

Gentle

A single, kind notification. Easy to ignore — which is the point for heads-down work.

Persistent

Multiple notifications until you acknowledge. For when you actually want to be caught.

Full alarm

An assertive alarm you can't miss. For back-to-back meetings and long stretches.

SCHEDULE

Your rhythm, not someone else's.

Pick weekdays, a start time, and a work/rest cadence — 30/10, 45/10, or 60/10. Mix and match later, too.

HISTORY

A quiet record.

How often you paused. No streaks. No guilt.

HOW IT WORKS

Three taps. Then it just runs.

01

Set your hours

Tell Up Yet when your workday starts and ends, and which days count. Saturday can stay quiet.

02

Pick a cadence

30/10, 45/10, or 60/10 — work and rest in repeating blocks. Swap any time.

03

Get up, sit back down

Up Yet surfaces the next break on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. You do the rest — literally.

SCREENS

Designed to disappear when you're working.

And to be legible, warm, and unbossy when you're not.

WHY REST

Fatigue is the tax on deep work.

The point of a break isn't to be lazy. It's to stay fast. Short, regular recoveries keep working memory fresh, reduce eye strain, and give the posterior of your nervous system a chance to reset. Miss enough of them and the afternoon becomes a slog — that's not willpower, that's physiology.

Up Yet doesn't ask for much. A few minutes, placed before you feel you need them.

PRICING
$1/year

One dollar. One year. No catch.

We charge a dollar because $0 invites low-effort users and $50 invites skepticism. A year of calmer focus for less than a coffee.
