WorkPause is a rest reminder - a software program to remind you, when necessary, to break your work and have some rest. It has been proven that the regular rest breaks reduce the risk of developing RSI or other computer-related diseases, and help to avoid eyestrain.

In a few words, WorkPause works like this:

• You can specify how much time you'd like to work between the breaks, when to have short or long breaks etc.
• While you work, WorkPause sits in the system tray and shows you the time left until the next pause. It will monitor the intensity of your work and adjust the timing accordingly.
• When it's time for a rest break, WorkPause will let you know; it can use sound with a small message, or black out the screen to make sure you really stop working.
• Of course, if you don't like to break right now, you can always postpone or disable the alarms.

Not Just A Reminder

WorkPause is much more than just a break reminder. While you work, it will collect and show you statistics on how you use your computer. It will adjust the frequency and the timings of the breaks according to your tempo. And it's fully configurable so you can easily adapt it to the way you work.

If you work all day, at the end you might feel like a wreck: your back hurts, your eyes are red and tired, and your neck is stiff. Moreover, the long hours of work with computers and the lack of adequate rest can often lead to health troubles like back pain, eye strain, and even Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) which is quite difficult to cure.

How to prevent this? If you make regular rest breaks and use them to take your eyes off the screen, do some stretches or a short walk around the office, you can easily prevent RSI or avoid eyestrain. Still, deeply immersed in your work, you often forget to rest. What you need is a reminder - like WorkPause.
