BreakTime

Forces you to take breaks every x minutes (inspired by TakeABreak for Linux)

Intended Audience

Most break programs are built for people who just need a gentle nudge to take a break. For me, however, once I get into something, I have too much inertia and it's very hard to switch gears.

This app doesn't try to gently nudge you away from unhealthy work habits. It doesn't make a sweet, timid suggestion that, maybe wouldn't it be a good idea to take a break? I would just ignore something like that.

This app generously permits you to work during work time, and forbids you from doing anything to your computer during break time.
