Time goes so fast that it takes an app to remind me to take a break. I can’t always stop when an hour is up, but I try to find a stopping point as soon as possible after the alert. Breaks keep me from getting too cramped in one position and maintain good circulation. I set the “work time” and the “idle time” for 60 minutes each. When the break screen pops up, I hit “keep working” and the app resets. Leave the “show idle time” unchecked. I changed the “alert text” to “stand up” which gives me a command and instead of the description “break.” If I am eating, etc., I just leave the break screen sit there until I’m ready to work again.

Fantastic! Fast, clean, not bloated, plenty features. I'm using to prepare text to copy/paste into Facebook, Messaging, quick notes, fast lists, - just great. Also, the fastest and simplest install and registration ever! Price is equitable.
