PC WorkBreak

This came at a great time for me--just when I needed it most. I've been trying to use another program that has a reminder function but I can't get it to work quite right (probably a user problem). Although I was hoping to avoid installing yet another one-solution program to gunk up my computer, I'm sure PC Workbreak is worth it. I remember using it a couple of years ago, maybe longer, when it was given away here but then uninstalled it because I didn't think I needed it. Now, because of medical issues, I DO need it. You must have read my mind, GOTD and TriSun. lol Thanks.

It is a handy little programme with a nicely designed interface that's actually rather original for a change.

Was diagnosed with a DVT and searched for a program to help me remember to get up and walk every so often. Thanks for the LIFE SAVING program!

Hi, was looking for a break app and tested all of the ones as a blog said, and yours is the best. Thank you!

PC Workbreak is for keyboard diehards. Schedule your own breaks and a picture reminder stops you till an activity is done. You can Cancel, but it shows in your stats. Why not take 15 seconds to massage your eyes, or stretch, or 15 minutes to walk? Run it in the background from Startup folder.

You’ve been so caught up doing a job in front of a PC, that by the time you decide to take a break you notice that several marathon hours have just flown by. And when you get out of your office chair you can’t help but notice that your lower back aches, or your hands are stiff, or you have a crushing headache, your near sight is a blur, or you’ve all the above. And after that kind of work day you get up the very next morning and start all over again. A person’s body can only take so much abuse and by the time many, many, people figure that out, it just might be past the tipping point. So I think I’ll try PCWB before I get to the tipping point, if it already isn’t too late.

I’ve been looking for something exactly like this. I’m a writer, on the computer all day long, and I need to get up and do exercises every hour so I don’t turn into a marshmallow or something. The user interface is a little different, but not difficult to use, I like it. I can program the break time, what it’s for etc. looks perfect.

I got a deep vein thrombosis in the leg for 6 months ago, and while I heal, I don’t sit with my legs in the same position for an extended period of time. This program can be usefull for some of us – if not for life – then for a period. I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the opportunity to, Trisun Software.

If like me you are semi-addicted to browsing or working without interruption for hours at a time (e.g., copy editing), this is actually a useful program to have. It’s certainly worth a try.

Seems to be just fine, thanks Trisun, Nosa Lee.

Looks like a keeper, Thanks!

I’ve been needing something like this to, hopefully, motivate me and remind me to stop working for a few minutes. Although I’m retired and in my 70’s, I still spend a lot of time on my computer, doing genealogy research, playing games, learning to use new software, etc. My body pays the toll when I spend too much time sitting. I haven’t played with this much yet, but I think it’s cool. Nice to see something different–especially not the awful MS ribbon. I’m also glad to see that PCWB has a couple of built-in break reminders that I need–take a walk and do eye exercises. I’m looking forward to trying out this tool. Thanks, PCWB developers.

When working on a complex project, you might get so caught up in your work that you forget to take a break, stretch for a few minutes or simply drink a cup of water. PC WorkBreak is one of the applications that remind you when it is time to take a break so as to increase your long-term productivity. Minimalistic, yet intuitive GUI The utility comes with a simplistic graphic user interface (GUI), which makes it easy for everyone to identify and understand its functions. You need to start by creating a list with the breaks you want to take, as well as define some time intervals when no breaks are required, then set PC WorkBreak to run at Windows startup. Set up frequent breaks, depending on your needs When it comes to setting up a new break, you need to assign it a brief title that can also serve as a motivational phrase – this way you can make sure that you are not tempted to ignore the break reminder. You can choose the break duration (in seconds) and its frequency or fixed time, along with a relevant graphic file (GIF, JPEG, BMP, WMF, PNG or ICO). Play sounds during the scheduled breaks and choose ‘no break’ days A nifty function is enjoying your preferred audio tracks in the background, while taking the scheduled breaks since this can help you relax to the fullest and recharge your batteries. As previously mentioned, you can define some time intervals when no breaks are required, as well as select the so-called ‘No Break Days’. This can come in handy if you plan to set PC WorkBreak to run at startup and do not want it to remind you to take a break when watching a movie or playing a game on weekends. All in all, PC WorkBreak can be of great use to workaholics who rarely remember to take a break. The app also keeps track of all the breaks you dismissed or interrupted to get back to work, so you can use the statistics as an incentive to relax more even if you are working on an important project.
