BreakPoint

A panic button for your momentum.

BreakPoint is a macOS menu bar app for those moments when you have to walk away but do not want to lose the thread.

Hit one shortcut, and it turns your current work state into a clean, readable handoff you can open later in Markdown or Apple Notes.

Why It’s Cool

Most apps save files. BreakPoint saves momentum.

It grabs the stuff future-you actually cares about:

• what you were looking at
• what was open
• what was on your clipboard
• what was on screen
• what you were probably trying to finish

Then it turns that into a structured “Doom’s Moment” so coming back feels like a continuation, not a restart.

What It Does

BreakPoint lives in your menu bar and gives you three simple ways to trigger a capture:

• click the icon
• use Cmd + Shift + Escape
• open the right-click menu

After that, it generates a handoff in the style you want:

• Normal for balanced re-entry
• ADHD for short, scannable output
• Code Mode for technical sessions
• Extra for a fuller, richer summary

You can send the result to:

• a Markdown file
• Apple Notes
• or both

What Makes It Better Than a Screenshot

A screenshot shows you where you were.

BreakPoint helps you remember:

• what mattered
• what was still unfinished
• what to do next
• what you can even do from your phone

It is built for the “I’ll remember this later” lie.
