WalkAway

WalkAway is a handy little tool that reminds you to take breaks when you're working at your computer for long stretches. We all know how our bodies can start to ache or feel sore after hours of sitting, right? That's why it's super important to step away from the screen every now and then, and this software has got your back.

Easy Setup and Use

Once you install WalkAway, it automatically minimizes and hangs out in your system tray. This means it won’t clutter up your taskbar. It's pretty discreet until you need to change any settings or turn it off.

Pause Options

If you ever need a break from the reminders, just right-click the WalkAway icon in the tray. You can choose to pause it for 30 minutes or even up to 4 hours! Just keep in mind that double-clicking won’t do anything; you'll have to stick with right-clicking.

Customize Your Reminders

You have the option to stick with WalkAway's default settings or tweak them however you'd like! By default, it reminds you every 60 minutes, but you can change that number if you're feeling brave. Plus, you can customize the reminder message so it really hits home.

Stay Alert Even When You’re Away

If you're away from your keyboard when a reminder pops up, no worries! WalkAway locks your desktop until you click 'I'm back!' So there’s no chance of missing those important reminders.

Simplistic Yet Effective

In short, WalkAway is a straightforward app that helps ensure you get those regular break reminders. You can even set it up to launch automatically when Windows starts up—no manual work needed!

No Music During Breaks?

A little heads-up though: while WalkAway does its job well with reminders, it won’t play music during your breaks or send loud audio messages pushing you to take a break. But hey, sometimes simple is better!
