EyeLoveU for Windows

To prevent strain on your eyes, this simple application monitors computer usage and prompts you to take regular breaks, but it lacks some features we'd like to see. EyeLoveU has a basic interface to customize options for the visual breaks. The program offers two modes, Time Presetting and Smart Notify, and allows you to schedule short pauses and long breaks. Breaks can be scheduled in user-specified periods, between 20- to 55-minute intervals, or started manually at any time.

At initiation, a window commands the large part of your screen with random instructions like, "Close your eyes and roll your eyeballs," and "Stretch your body, go to the bathroom, and walk around." While the program stays on top of other windows on your desktop, EyeLoveU doesn't lock the keyboard or mouse, making it possible to work even during breaks. You can't pass nor cancel breaks. Despite some misses, EyeLoveU is a useful reminder for users of any level to take a break while working on the computer.
