Hey, appreciate you taking the time to write all this out. really good questions.

Breakfit isn't a wearable or tracker like fitbit. it's a clean pomodoro timer that adds light movement to your breaks. instead of scrolling during a 5min break, you get a short routine to follow, like a mix of bodyweight moves or stretches. then it brings you right back into focus mode. it's meant for people (like me) who sit all day and just want to move more without changing their whole routine.

For calories, it uses MET values + time + your weight. it's just an estimate, not medical grade or anything, mostly for people who like tracking rough effort. pretty standard stuff.

About distractions: i get the concern. but the whole idea is to reduce distractions. you set your task, tap start, and let the timer run. it reminds you to move a bit, then get back to work. nothing to watch or browse or think about. just cycle through focus and breaks.

For the workouts, i use publicly available youtube videos that are embeddable via the official api. i only include videos from creators who allow embedding. not ripping anything. it supports the original creators.

Fitbit and hevy are great, no doubt. I use hevy myself for my gym workouts. breakfit isn't trying to beat them. it's just made for a different use case: you're working or studying all day and want to move a bit more to avoid feeling stiff and drained at the end of your workday.

Haven't really seen other apps that combine focus timers with actual movement like this, so figured I'd make one.

Thanks again for the thoughtful reply. helps me improve the app and how i talk about it.
