BreakTaker for Windows

User Reviews

• Do not use this program on windows 8.

  October 2, 2014

  Pros

  It does exactly what you ask it to reminds you to take time to do other things at set intervals you can change. You can ignore the break and it will remind you with a red reminder that indicates the ignored break and asks that you take a break. All with friendly suggestions like.... stopping for 30 seconds to stare into the distance.

  Cons

  This thing is basically an app a relic of windows vista/7 so it has a weird install path. C:\Users\*name*\AppData\Local\2.0\ which is obnoxious for uninstalling the item at least in windows 8 because the uninstaller only removes the program from the Programs and Features list leaving the rest of the program in the above file location.

  Summary

  I love this program and hope the author fixes it to work with windows 8/9 and into the future.

• Stop the dull ache

  Pros

  I have found this very helpful to remind me to stop staring at my monitor at regular intervals. This has helped greatly with mild eye strain headaches.

  Cons

  None really. I'd like to have some more user customizable settings. Message location, size.

  Summary

  Recommended if you just can't stop sometimes.
