iRestBreak reminds you to take a break for a moment while using your computer.
iRestBreak is a small but useful application very suited for people who spend hours in front of the computer and never remember to take a rest break.
When the program is executed a small progress bar appears on your desktop showing the countdown timer for the next rest break. You can move this progress bar to a desired position. You can also modify the rest break interval of time and the rest break duration.
When the rest break time occurs the entire screen becomes black and it cannot be unlocked for at least for 1 minute. There is also an option to completely avoid unlocking the computer until the set rest break time is finished.
The timer can be paused if the computer is inactive or if the computer is running a program in full screen mode.
Other actions to perform while taking a rest break are: turn off the monitor, run a screensaver, run an application, and play a music file. You can also protect iRestBreak with a password to avoid other users to change the parameters.
Pros
- You can modify the rest break interval and the rest break duration
