Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know before giving your brain a rest.

Is Brain Rest free?
Yes — the core screen-time tracker, daily dashboard, brain levels, limit warnings, the Classic Pomodoro timer, and break reminders are all free. Brain Rest Pro unlocks the extras (full history, calendar analytics, block & redirect enforcement, unlimited blocked sites and categories, and custom Pomodoro presets) for $4.99/month, $29/year, or a $69 one-time lifetime purchase.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free account (email & password, or Sign in with Google). It's what keeps your stats and settings synced across the devices you sign in on, and makes sure your data stays tied to you. Setup takes just a few seconds.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your detailed, moment-to-moment activity stays on your device. Only day-level summaries (how long you spent on each site per day) sync to your private account so your stats follow you across devices. Your raw browsing history is never uploaded, and we never sell your data. Read the full Privacy Policy.
How does the time tracking work?
Brain Rest times the active tab in your focused window and records it per website, per day. It automatically pauses after 60 seconds of inactivity or when your screen locks, so idle time never inflates your numbers — and background tabs aren't counted.
What can it actually block or limit?
Set daily time budgets (overall or per site) and get a warning — or, on Pro, a block or gentle redirect — when you hit them. Use Focus Mode and site blocking to keep distractions out while you work, the Pomodoro timer for work/break cycles, and Break Mode to step away entirely.
What does Brain Rest Pro unlock?
Full history beyond the last 7 days, the calendar analytics view, "Block" and "Redirect" actions on daily limits, unlimited blocked sites and categories, and custom Pomodoro presets. Payments are handled securely by Polar; you can cancel anytime and keep Pro until the end of your billing period.
Which browsers and devices are supported?
Brain Rest is a desktop browser extension built for Chrome (Manifest V3) and works on Chromium-based browsers that support the same APIs. Browser extensions aren't supported on mobile, so it doesn't run on phones or tablets.
Can I cancel, and do you offer refunds?
You can cancel a recurring plan anytime from the Polar customer portal — your Pro access stays active until the end of the current billing period. Payments are final and non-refundable except where required by applicable law. See the Terms for details.
How do I get started?
Add Brain Rest from the Chrome Web Store, create your free account, and walk through a quick 30-second setup. Your dashboard starts filling in right away — and your little brain will thank you.
