Repetitive strain injury is a modern health problem encountered usually by people that stay in front of a computer lots of hours a day, many days per week.

To avoid having to deal with these type of health issues one can make sure that periodic breaks are taken while working and here is where applications such as Break Reminder come in.

Break Reminder is an OS X utility designed from scratch with one simple yet very purpose in mind: to notify its users from time to time to stop working in order to steer clear of health issues caused by repetitive tasks such as typing using a computer keyboard and or of eye strain caused by keeping your eyes focused on a monitor.

While working in the background, Break Reminder keeps an eye on the number of breaks you take during a day and, if necessary, it will display alerts asking you to get up for a break to increase your overall productivity and fight of any health problems caused by sitting down in your chair countless hours each work day.

Moreover, while watching over your daily break habits, Break Reminder will stay out of your way and will also automatically change your iChat status to let your friends and colleagues that you're out for a short break.

The Break Reminder utility can also be setup to display various tips and tricks on how to apply ergonomics principles and physical exercises to make sure that when you leave the office you're still as energized as you we're when you left the house in the morning.

As a bonus feature that makes it even more user friendly, Break Reminder can be configured via its Preferences window to enforce custom length breaks in order to better fit your working style and schedule.

All things considered, apart from making you a healthier person overall, Break Reminder is a great app to have running on your Mac if you want to be more productive and focused during the work day.

What's more, via its tips and tricks break screens, Break Reminder will also contribute to how you perceive breaks and will help you make sure that they are put to good use.
