Bookidoro
Feeds you a few book pages after each work stretch, so breaks become reading time.
Bookidoro lives in your Mac's menu bar and opens the next 1-5 pages of your book after every work stretch of 10-60 minutes, using your own PDF or EPUB or one of 78,000 free public-domain classics. It checks only whether your mic or camera is on, never audio or video, so it waits out calls and meetings instead of interrupting them. The whole app is free with every feature and no account.
