I have been using EyeLeo, but it's almost stopped working. Went out to find a replacement. And Workrave is working just fine. Someone below said it was memory hungry. I didn't notice. Only eats 20MB of RAM. It's nothing these days. Don't make me laugh. The design is fine and I like it for now. Will be checking out others to see if there is still something better. Save your eyes. Be no fool.

Any plans to port this app on Qt framework?
You can check my Workrave alternative - Resto (see http://just-code.org/applications/resto/). It's not as complex as Workave itself, but it's written entirely in Qt.

I use this app all the time, it is simple, yet useful. But it seems abandoned (last update was in 2014), so I give it only 4 stars...
Workrave is too memory hungry for such a simple app.
Its also way too complicated. All you need is something which pops up every 20 mins to remind you to take a break.
Dont waste your time with this - try Eyedefender which is 20 times smaller and is simple to use.
