Rest Reminder - Reminds you to take keyboard breaks

Free Windows Download

Problem: You know you should take regular breaks from your computer screen and keyboard but time just seems to pass by. This can result in eye strain, posture problems and repetitive strain injury.

Solution: Rest Reminder is a free media player designed for use by anyone that wants or needs to be reminded when it's time to take a break. You may then choose to take a break or disregard the reminder.

Key features / benefits include:

  • Very simple and easy to use:
    • Enter a number of minutes to wait for
    • Select an audio file from the samples provided or use your own (the window will be minimized as soon as an audio file is selected)
    • Once the specified number of minutes have elapsed the window reappears, the sound file is played and a written reminder is displayed
  • A fade-in option is provided meaning that sound loops can be played without a jolt in the volume when first played.
  • Slow down or speed-up the sound (if possible with the file being played).
