ScreenRest

ScreenRest, latest version 2.0.7, is an intuitive application designed to remind users to take regular breaks from their computer. Developed by KimotaPrime, this software falls under the Home & Hobby category, specifically the Healthcare & Fitness subcategory. ScreenRest caters to users running Windows 10, and 11, making it accessible for the majority of PC users.

One of the standout features of ScreenRest is its ability to offer complete control over rest intervals. Users can opt for fixed intervals or allow the program to monitor their keyboard and mouse activity to determine optimal times for breaks. The program file, ScreenRest.exe, will prompt reminders for both rest breaks and microrests, ensuring that users are adequately informed about the type and duration of the rest required.

The application is notably user-friendly, with customizable preference settings that let users decide if they can cancel or delay their breaks. When the rest period begins, ScreenRest keeps a dialog active on the screen, counting down the remaining time to ensure the user takes the full specified duration. This feature helps maintain the health benefits of regular computer breaks.

For those looking for earlier versions, ScreenRest also offers version 2.0, though the latest 2.0.7 is recommended for the best experience. The software is available for free, providing a cost-effective solution for maintaining good computer habits.

Pros:

• User-friendly with comprehensive preference settings.
• Customizable rest intervals based on user activity.
• Free to use.

Cons:

• Limited to Windows 10/11.
