Pauses: Software to Remind PC Users to Take Periodic Breaks
Pauses is a smart application designed to prevent fatigue by reminding users to take timely breaks while working on their computers. This non-intrusive program runs in the background, allowing users to set specific intervals for reminders tailored to their needs. Users are notified 30 seconds before each break to ensure a smooth transition. For those who tend to overwork, Pauses offers "forced pauses" to encourage stepping away for a preset duration.
Pauses is highly intuitive, enabling users to take notes to track their work progress after breaks. The program seamlessly integrates with work tasks and automatically disables itself when certain applications are in use, such as watching a movie. Users can choose to display the icon in the menu bar or the dock based on their preferences.
