realy great work! Maybe there can implement a start for a program like a screensaver - window with transparence 50% ?. Why - cause its boring to staring on a screen, still with informations (mozilla ..) or also start with a little mp3 chill sound -ends after break. I found this website. Sorry i dont know is the google translater good enough.. :) the tutorial works with winwarden and a screensaver of your choise.. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.supernature-forum.de%2Ftutorials-and-tipps%2F94964-rsi-syndrom-internetsucht-schutz-selbsthilfe.html

Great program, best feature set out there! This is just perfect for me and I recommend this software to anyone trying to prevent RSI. My eyes had been strained from a regular work week of programming and I am also recovering from carpal tunnel surgery. This program helps me by forcing my eyes and body to rest based on how much I am using the computer.

If you are a total geek like me (I design and build websites and provide tech help to non-geeks), you occasionally need a shake back to real time because you get lost in your work. I'm 57 with chronic back and neck strain, sciatica and a little arthritis, so it is imperative that I take a break now and then. This little program can be programmed to fit your needs, sits quietly on your desktop and then, per your request, reminds you to get up and move. It's great! Thanks for your generosity and concern.

Workrave reminds me to take breaks, stretch, walk around, so I'm not sitting and staring at a computer all day, non-stop. It's minimalist, but maximally useful.

Simple and intuitive. Just browsed quickly through it. So I don't know about bugs, but it looks promising.

This is a pretty cool project. One thing missing tough... Auto-Click With this feature alone, it would blow away all other RSI-xxx projects out there.

Great not to forget a cup of coffee. To be serious: a great tool not be lost in the agony of work, stress and other life-diminishing things!

i find it irritating initially, but later it is very effective in stopping me from mugging in front of my computer. i'll walk away to grab something to eat instead. :)
