Eyes Relax 0.44

Take short but regular breaks from screen work

Prevent eye strain by taking regular breaks

We all know it's important to take regular breaks from staring at a computer screen but it can be hard to remember to do so. Eyes Relax is a simple but effective utility that will show a small reminder when it is time to take a break.

The reminders appear as a message over the Notification Area with warnings of the break. A message appears every 10 seconds during the break, along with an unobtrusive beep.

It is possible to change the length of the breaks and how often they occur. The menu from the Notification icon allows you to choose whether to take a break immediately or put it off by five minutes.

A nice touch that is less common in these utilities is the Parent Mode. This adds password protection to the time settings, ideal for parents wanting to make sure their children take a break from games or the internet.
