Fewer natural pauses
Workdays often move from one screen-based task to the next, without the walks, room changes and informal transitions that once helped break up the day.
For teams on Windows
Short resets made easier to take.
Hours at a computer leave people stiff, tired and foggy. SparklingTreat notices a long stretch of computer work and offers a reset of a few minutes or less that people can do at their desk. Then it gets out of the way.
It avoids obvious bad moments and never tracks what anyone is working on.

Why breaks do not happen
Everyone knows they should take a break. The workday makes it hard.
Spare minutes get used up
When a gap does appear, it often goes to the phone or the inbox. That is more screen time, rather than a break.
A good break takes decisions
You have to notice you need one, work out what would help, and find the time. When we asked people why they skip breaks, they told us they're busy, overwhelmed and short on time. At the end of a demanding stretch, that's one decision too many.
A reminder that only says “take a break” leaves all three problems in place.
Built around real work
The break is ready. You just take it.
SparklingTreat takes the decisions out of a break. It notices a long stretch of computer work, offers a reset that is ready to start, and lets each person choose the moment.
Ready when you pause
Between tasks, waiting for a reply, while an AI response generates or a file exports: whenever you reach a pause of your own, a reset is one click away in the Windows tray.
Nothing to figure out
Take the reset offered, or choose what you need: Fix posture, Wake up, Calm down, Relieve back, or Rest eyes.
Done at the desk
Read a quick cue, listen with your eyes closed, or follow a short seated or standing movement. No equipment, changing clothes, or room to find.
Never pushy
It waits while you are presenting, in full-screen, locked, or using supported Focus settings. If the timing is still wrong, one click puts it off.
The point of a reset
Get up from a long stretch feeling better than you sat down.
- Loosen up after hours in one position
- Rest the eyes from close screen focus
- Reset energy during the mid-afternoon slump
- Take a calmer breath between demanding tasks
A 2022 meta-analysis of micro-breaks found small overall effects on vigor and fatigue.
Three reset formats
Three ways to take a meaningful reset.
Some moments can hold a guided movement. Others call for closed eyes, quiet breathing, or something that asks almost nothing of you.
1.5–3.75 min
Guided Move
When your body needs a little more.
Follow a model through a short, work-ready movement to wake up your body, release tension, or reset your posture.
Calming music and scenery make it easier to mentally step away from work for a moment.
45 sec–2.5 min
Screen Free
When your eyes need a screen break or your mind needs a moment to settle.
Listen to spoken eye or breathing guidance without continuing to watch the screen.
Rest your eyes, slow your breathing, or settle your mind without following a video.
15–60 sec
Glance and Go
When even a minute feels like a lot.
Read one simple cue, then let the card disappear and act.
A quick escape from the screen—with almost no setup, attention, or commitment.
Move within your comfort. Stop if anything hurts.
For owners, HR and operations leads
A benefit built into the workday, with little to manage.
Employees receive the complete app and use it during their regular workdays. You distribute access codes and receive protected team-level summaries.
Simple to get started
Employees install from the Microsoft Store and enter the code you give them. There are no employee accounts or email lists for SparklingTreat to manage.
Something people notice
Many wellbeing benefits sit unused until someone remembers them. This one shows up in the workday itself for everyone who uses it.
See whether it is landing
See team totals for activity, completed resets, and voluntary better, same or worse responses once enough people are counted to protect individuals.
Priced by team size
Pick the plan that covers the number of people you invite. Your price never depends on whether anyone takes, skips, or stops using resets.
User control and privacy
Your team's trust matters more than our data.
SparklingTreat times the reminder. It does not watch anyone work.
- User control. People can snooze, skip or pause prompts. Optional usage-data sharing remains their choice.
- Nothing about their work. No keystrokes, screens, websites, documents, messages, or app names.
- No individual reporting. Organizations receive protected team totals, never individual activity or productivity scores.
- Never sold. We do not sell data or use it for advertising.

Questions buyers ask
Clear before you begin.
What does an employee actually see?
A small card in the corner of the screen offering a reset, with Start, In 5 min, Switch and Skip. Resets can also be started from the tray icon at any time.
Does it monitor people?
No. It measures only how long someone has been active at the computer, so it knows when to offer a reset, and that timing stays on their computer. It does not see what they are working on.
What will our organization be able to see?
How many people were invited and activated, how many were active each week, how many resets the team completed, and how people rated them: better, same or worse. Each figure appears only after enough people are counted to protect individuals. Smaller teams may see fewer figures.
Can we require people to use it?
SparklingTreat does not require or enforce participation. Your organization decides how to introduce and manage SparklingTreat under its own workplace policies. Each person can still snooze, skip or pause resets, and optional usage-data sharing remains their choice.
Is it a medical or ergonomic product?
No. SparklingTreat offers general wellbeing resets. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it does not replace an ergonomic assessment.
Does it work on Mac?
Not yet. Email us if you are interested in a Mac version, and we will let you know when it becomes available. hello@sparklingtreat.com
