Show HN: Breakrs – Natural Language CLI Timer with MCP Server for AI Integration (github.com)

breakrs is a simple CLI timer that accepts natural language durations:

breakrs 5m coffee break breakrs 1h30m meeting reminder No cron syntax, just plain English. Runs a daemon, sends desktop notifications.

I also built rmcp-breakrs, an MCP server wrapper, so Claude Code can schedule reminders:

"remind me in 30 minutes to check the build" → actually works, notification fires later Most scheduler MCP servers need cron expressions. This just takes "30m check the build."

Both tools are Rust, single binary install via cargo. Local-only, no cloud.
