A customer wrote on Reddit in the /r/Dejal community:
Hey! Long time user and supporter of TimeOut. Is there a way we can add a checklist to pop up for the break theme?
I just LOVE checklists, its so satisfying to click off a task such as exercises during breaks. I know there are other solutions, like I could just customize the text and put an X there, but checklist is just so much more satisfying.
I replied that such a theme would be beyond my HTML skills, but I could try asking ChatGPT to write it for me… which I did. After a number of refinements, we came up with something that works quite well:

You can add, edit, remove rows, and toggle the checkmark. They are only saved on your local Mac, and are specific to the break, so two breaks using the Checklist theme will have separate lists.
You can download it from the Time Out Extras page; here’s a direct download link. To install this or any other themes:
- Go to the Break Appearance page within Time Out.
- Choose Reveal Themes from the Theme menu to open the themes folder in the Finder.
- Decompress the downloaded archive, if your browser didn’t do it for you.
- Drag the resulting folder into the revealed themes folder.
- That’s it; the new theme will then appear in Time Out’s themes pop-up menu.
I hope you find this useful.
