Author’s review

Break Reminder is a program to help prevent OOS/RSI and to assist in the healing process if these or similar conditions already exist. It boasts a small interface that discretely runs in the background monitoring your computer use, which uses timers (to your settings) that remind you to take a break.

Break Reminder is designed to both prevent and assist convalescence of these debilitating computer terminal associated conditions. It has numerous other benefits also. Whilst the developer has many anecdotal reports of the value of this software, there is also research that supports the value this type of software provides to PC users.

Everyone knows that too much screen time is never a good thing, but it’s easy to lose track of time and forget exactly how long you’ve been staring at a computer, your phone, or a TV.

Remind yourself to take regular breaks when working on your PC, through visual and audio alerts, with this straightforward application

Automatic Break Reminder Software

2.5/5

Review by Catalin Chelariu on June 21, 2016

Nowadays, we tend to spend more and more time in front of our computers, whether at work or at home. Naturally, this behavior can have unpleasant side effects, but taking short breaks at regular intervals can help reduce potential health risks.

Automatic Break Reminder Software is a very simple application that provides a solution, as it can display desktop notifications and play sound alerts whenever it is time to step away from your PC.

Novice-friendly application that can be configured in seconds

While taking care of your health is important, no one wants to waste time setting up a program that performs such a simple function. Thankfully, Automatic Break Reminder Software can be configured with only a few mouse clicks.

You can choose between the three available reminders and define the break interval, as well as insert a WAV file to be used as an alert sound.

The application also displays a progress bar that lets you know when the next break is due.

Lightweight, unobtrusive utility that offers a basic feature set

Once you have configured the program, you can minimize it to the system tray and continue working on various projects without being disturbed. The application can also be launched automatically at system startup.

Automatic Break Reminder Software can display two types of notifications in the system tray area, as well as play a sound alert. However, the timer is restarted once the reminders have been closed, and you cannot specify how long each break should be.

Simplistic and outdated user interface

When it comes to looks, the application is not likely to impress many users, but the UI’s layout is simple enough not to confuse novices. A visual upgrade is certainly needed, however, as the interface is very out-of-date.

All in all, Automatic Break Reminder Software is a straightforward utility that can help you avoid the potential side effects of using your PC for extended periods without taking regular breaks. It is simple enough to use, but it does not allow you to customize the duration of your rest periods, and it features an outdated interface.

Remind yourself to take a break

BreakTaker is an app designed to remind you to take regular breaks while working on your computer.

Repetitive stress injury and carpel tunnel syndrome are common ailments within the work place as employees forget to get up and stretch once in a while. BreakTaker is a simple application that sits silently in the system tray and reminds you when to take your break.

BreakTaker is a very simple application with only a few options to adjust. You can change how many minutes pass before the next alert, enable/disable sounds, and choose whether to pause the timer when the PC is locked.

While BreakTaker does provide reminders to take breaks, there’s no option to make sure that the user takes his or her break. We would like to see an option where the user can be locked out until a certain amount of time has passed. Without this, it is very easy for the user to ignore BreakTaker’s notification.

BreakTaker is good for giving users a simple pop-up reminder to take breaks, but there aren’t enough advanced features to make sure that users don’t ignore the application.
