EyeCare4US

It’s a pretty well-known fact that spending too much time in front of the PC can cause health problems. Your sight is affected in time, and it’s a good idea to take a small break from time to time. This are also the intentions of EyeCare4US, to remind you when it’s time to take it easy for a while.

Before you can install and run the application, it’s best to check whether or not your computer is fitted with .NET Framework, because it’s a component required for functionality. You’re free to launch it afterwards, and you instantly get acquainted with the set of features, found in a pretty impressive, calming layout.

The core functionality of the application is to remind you at regular intervals to take a break. There’s a default configuration which uses a 20 minute work time, and 5 minute break. Expanding the customize menu gives you full control over the operation.

Switching to the custom mode lets you manually write the work and rest times. Input needs to be a numerical value, but pay attention because it’s in seconds, not minutes, so a bit of calculus might be required for lengthy work sessions. Changes are saved when the application closes in case you always use this schedule.

There’s no option to create multiple profiles for different types of tasks, but creating a new profile on the spot isn’t that difficult. Hitting the “play” button starts the timer, and you can minimize the program to the tray area. When the time comes, a maximized window shows up and displays a relaxing image. You can customize the image galleries in the application’s setup folder.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that EyeCare4US comes with good intentions, helping you create a balance of work and break time. It’s easy to configure, quietly sitting in the tray area until it’s time to rest, time in which a relaxing image is brought on your desktop.
