Work is not among the most pleasurable of endeavors, yet there are those that can get so caught up with it that they sometimes lose track of time and how it passes. While for most of you it might sound strange, an app that can remind you to take the occasional break can indeed come in handy. RestStop is one such application, as it hides inconspicuously in your system's tray, only to pop-up and makes itself noticed when it's time for you to take a breather.

Before even considering using this app, most of you might ask yourself "why not just use a common third-party alarm app or the alarm app that comes by default with my OS?" The answer to that question lies in the details that you will observe as you continue to use RestStop. For example, unlike the default alarm app, whenever it's time for you to be reminded of something, RestStop will just show a subtle pop-up window accompanied by music, while the alarm app will exist your program altogether. This brutal exiting can sometimes even result in app's crashing and you potentially losing all of your work's progress.

As mentioned before, RestStop hides inconspicuously in your system's tray, only to pop-up and makes itself noticed when it's time to remind you about a break. The manner in which it does this can be modified down to the last detail from the 'Settings" menu. There you can choose to modify various app-related parameters, such as specifying the rest time, work intervals, the ringtone, the snooze reminder intervals and much more. The ability to show notifications in the corner of your screen can also be enabled or disabled at will, and you can even opt to have a mouse cursor animation play when its time for a break.

While RestStop can't physically take you away from your screen and somewhere you can relax, the fact that it reminds you to do it in such a subtle yet efficient way makes it a great addition to any office worker's digital library.
