TheCam liked BreakTimer
jasperschoormans added BreakTimer as alternative(s) to MicroBreaks.co
james_PTG added Break timers as a feature to BreakTimer
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
