Routine
Use a simple 20-minute cycle with clear Start, Dismiss, and Mute for 1 Hour actions when a break is due.
Available on the App Store
Chukshu turns the 20-20-20 idea into a practical routine: look 20 feet away for 20 seconds, blink 20 times, and let reminders adapt when movement signals show that you are already away from the screen.
Chukshu is a reminder companion for screen-break routines. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Routine
Use a simple 20-minute cycle with clear Start, Dismiss, and Mute for 1 Hour actions when a break is due.
Smart timing
On supported iPhone and Apple Watch devices, movement can reset the sedentary countdown so reminders arrive more practically.
Apple surfaces
The same reminder model extends across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, with reminders and guided sessions.
How it works
Chukshu keeps the interaction model small: enable reminders, take a guided break when it is useful, dismiss it when plans change, or mute the routine during uninterrupted work.
Each guided session creates a 20-second pause for looking away and blinking rather than leaving the reminder as a passive notification.
Where motion support is available, Chukshu starts its countdown after stillness and resets it when walking or activity interrupts the sedentary period.
Notification actions let you begin the guided session, reset the cycle, or pause reminders for an hour without navigating through the app.
Daily counts and recent history summarize due, completed, skipped, and muted breaks without turning the app into a performance scorecard.
Screenshots
These localized captures show the home state, timing model, due prompt, guided break, work-hour controls, and Apple Watch experience from the current app build.
See whether reminders are active, when the next cycle is due, and how today's breaks are progressing.
Supported devices can use motion signals to avoid counting time when you are already away from the screen.
Start now, dismiss the prompt, or mute reminders for an hour based on what the moment requires.
Follow a short look-away and blinking sequence instead of relying on a notification alone.
Premium work-hour controls keep the routine aligned with the schedule you choose.
Start and complete a guided break from the watch with intentional haptic cues and glanceable controls.
