Break Reminder

Break Reminder is a handy tool that helps you take breaks while working on your computer. We all know that staring at the screen for too long isn’t great for us, right? But sometimes we get so caught up in what we’re doing that we forget to step away. That’s where this app comes in! It sits quietly in your tray area and nudges you when it’s time to take a breather.

Easy to Use Right After Download

The best part? You can start using Break Reminder as soon as you download it—no long setup required! This means you can carry it around on a thumb drive and use it on both your work and home computers. Just make sure the target PC has .NET Framework installed.

Running in the Background

When you launch the app, it goes straight to the tray area without bothering you with pop-ups. You can trust its default settings or open up its configuration panel if you want to tweak break times or other options.

Setting Up Breaks Made Easy

You have two ways to set up breaks. One way lets you choose how often you want reminders, but keep in mind that it only works with hours, so if you're looking for something shorter like minutes, you'll need to figure out a workaround.

A Built-in Scheduler for Your Convenience

The second method is super user-friendly! With the built-in scheduler, you can add multiple hour and minute configurations. The app will then remind you when those specific times hit!

Add Some Sound to Your Reminders

You can even set an acoustic alarm! Choose from a default sound or pick a WAV file of your choice. Just remember, if you want Break Reminder to launch automatically with Windows, you'll have to add a shortcut manually into your Startup folder.

Your Brain Can’t Do It All

Let’s be real: our brains aren’t always great at reminding us to take breaks. But with Break Reminder, making that decision becomes way easier! Setting it up is straightforward, and once it's running, it quietly reminds you when it's time for a little break so that you're ready to tackle your tasks fresh!
