UsefulRest 2.7 build 120

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Working on a computer plays havoc with your wrists, not to mention your aching back. UsefulRest helps you avoid overstrain by locking your computer and forcing you to take a 10-minute break every hour. The program is highly customizable, allowing you to configure everything from break duration to sounds. You can set micro pauses every 10 minutes and even have the program disconnect your computer from the Internet.

The Children's Hour feature allows kids to use the PC for a set period of time; it then keeps them out until the next day. Five levels of security let users adjust the strictness of the breaks. At the highest level, the program blacks out the screen during the lockup period and won't let you back in even with a password. Workaholics may hate all the breaks, but their joints will thank them later.
