If you spend all day working on a computer, it is easy to become fatigued and tired. There is also some evidence to suggest that sitting at a computer for hours on end can cause fatal blood clots. Rest Break sits quietly in the system tray and at the specified interval reminds you to take a break.

OOS (Occupational Overuse Syndrome) is also known as RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury - USA) and MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorders - Europe). CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) and CVS (Computer vision syndrome) also are associated with computer use. These injuries are becoming more and more common in today's computer intensive world. OOS, RSI, MSD, CTS and CVS can become very painful and debilitating if not treated early. With this in mind, the best cure is prevention. If injuries already exists, strict work methods are required to facilitate recovery.

Rest Break is designed to prevent these debilitating computer terminal associated conditions. It has numerous other benefits also. Whilst we have many anecdotal reports of the value of this software, there is also research that supports the value this type of software provides to PC users.

Rest Break is designed to the prevent:

RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury)
OOS (Occupational Oversuse Syndrome)
CSI (Continuous Strain Injury)

Rest Break has a small program interface that discretely runs in the background. It can monitor your computer use, and reminds (or can force) you to take a break to user chosen settings.
