Health Reminder Chrome Extension — Drink Water, Stand Up & Eye Break

What It Does

OneBuddy's health reminder system keeps you physically well during long browsing sessions. Set up three types of reminders: water intake alerts, stand-up reminders, and the 20-20-20 eye break rule. Each reminder type supports three scheduling modes — interval-based, fixed-time, and date-range — plus website exclusion lists so reminders pause on specific sites.

Why It's Better Than Standalone Extensions

Standalone break reminder extensions like Stretchly or Break Timer only handle one type of reminder. OneBuddy gives you water, standing, and eye break reminders in one place, plus integrates with your Pomodoro timer so health breaks align with work intervals. No extra extension needed.
