What is BreakTimer?
BreakTimer is a desktop application compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It helps prevent Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and eye-strain by reminding users to take breaks. The interface is customizable, allowing users to set the frequency and duration of breaks, and personalize the app's appearance. It also has a working hours setting to activate break reminders only during certain periods. The software alerts users when breaks are about to start, with options to skip or postpone. An 'Idle Reset' function restarts the break countdown after a period of inactivity.
Comments and Reviews
Neat features !
BUT for Windows: The install file is 70MB ! (compare to 2MB for similar program)
Run by default as multi-process (I have 6 process running for it) with a total consumption of 40MB !
Too bad as this program had the best features,as
Windows version install to AppData, not Program Files
