BreakMate 1.5.0

New:

  • Global Hotkey — press ⌘⌥B (Ctrl+Alt+B on Windows) anywhere to start a break instantly, or skip the one you're in. Toggle it in Settings → General.
  • Presentation Pause — BreakMate now notices when you're in a fullscreen presentation or video call and holds off on breaks until you're done. Toggle it in Settings → Smart Detection. (macOS only for now — Windows support is on the way.)
  • Companion Streaks — your desktop companion now celebrates real milestones (3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 100 days) as you build a consistent break habit. Check your progress in Settings → Companion.
  • Smarter Meeting-Aware Scheduling — when a break would land during a meeting, BreakMate now looks ahead across your calendar to find the next real gap, instead of just waiting 5 minutes and trying again.

Improved:

  • Smaller install size — break-screen slideshow images were re-optimized (~13 MB → ~2.3 MB) with no visible quality loss.

Under the hood:

  • Internal settings-code cleanup and documentation fixes — no visible changes, just a healthier codebase going forward.
