This program strikes us more as a full-fledged ergonomic solution than a simple break reminder. In its primary function, Kairos periodically prompts you when it's time to take a break from work or perform special exercises. However, the app goes beyond that by educating you about the ins and outs of healthy computing. For example, the program helps you find which work habits you should change to avoid repetitive stress disorders, and it teaches you special exercises. If you like, it can even administer a quiz to test your ergonomic knowledge. On the downside, the app's interface doesn't integrate all dialog boxes well, and the utility takes a considerable amount of RAM when running in the background. Still, Kairos will be especially useful for companies that wish to ensure the ergonomic health of their staffs.

Summary
I have used Kairos since 1996 and never had a problem with it. I think it's great. I hate having to take pauses but I hate sore wrists even more. And the little quotes that pop up are really cool.
Avoid it like the devil!!!

Summary
This program doesn't work properly, and it will erase your personal document files when you go to uninstall it. I double tried uninstalling it to make sure that this was the culprit, and sure enough, I saw as the names of my files were flashing quickly on the dialogue box as they disappeared. These files did not go to the recycle bin, but are permanently erased from your hard disk. I complained to them, but they didn't even bother to respond.
