BreakTaker

BreakTaker is a small Windows application designed specifically for helping you remember to take breaks from your computer in order to increase your overall work productivity and avoid common health issues related to eye strain and repetitive stress injury.

The utility runs quietly in the system tray without interfering with your work. You can access the program’s features by performing a right-click mouse operation on its icon from the system tray.

What’s more, you can make the app display a reminder at the current moment or pause the utility. It reveals popup notifications that remind you to take breaks from your computer. You may confirm that you have taken the break or skip the notification.

BreakTaker comes packed with several tweaking parameters that help you specify the time interval (in minutes) when the app shows notifications, pause the timer when the computer is locked, enable or disable sound notifications, run the utility at Windows startup, as well as change the looks of the app by choosing between different themes.

Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to set up the dedicated parameters, even less experienced users can learn to master the entire process in no time. Tests have shown that BreakTaker carries out a task quickly and without errors. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

BreakTaker proves to be a handy piece of software that comes bundled with several dedicated parameters for helping you take breaks while working on your computer.
