EyeLoveU

EyeLoveU is a free, cute, and super-smart application that will help you shorten and manage the time you spend in front of the computer.

EyeLoveU is simple to use and set up. Two main plans are allowed:  the Time Preset Mode and the Smart Notify Mode. If you choose to go for the first one, the Time Preset Mode, you can set up to nine instances of time notifications, at any chosen hours. There are nine different entries because the tool takes into account a standard working schedule.

In the Smart Notify Mode, you must define the number of minutes you work and how long you want your breaks to be. All notifications can be customized to fit your requirements and needs. For example, the tool can be set to be really persistent when displaying messages. The pop-up can be a small, discreet one, or it can cover the screen entirely.

EyeLoveU also has parental control — this feature allows for locking the notification window (on the PC's screen), so kids can't disable/snooze the alarm. This option can be used in combination with another one: the short-pause feature (that allows for setting short breaks at given time intervals). The always-on-top notification window will be shown on the screen for the entire break time. With the parental mode on, you can't disable/close it while in a break unless the timer you set is running out.

These options are major advantages for people with kids and users who can't commit to not using the computer during the break time. An extra step, customization-wise, is the password protection. You can set a password that is required every time you want to change something in the tool's settings. For example, if you are on a break and wish to end it, only by knowing the password can you access the menu. Otherwise, all other functions are disabled for the entire duration of the relaxation interval.

EyeLoveU will surely help you be more organized. Not only does it reduce stress and eye strain caused by prolonged screen exposure, yet the tool also enables access to a very strict and rigorous break-taking system that will be beneficial for those who wish to become more organized and focused.
