Working in the IT field has its perks and drawbacks. One good thing is that it's usually paid very well.
The application sits in your Menu Bar from where by simply clicking its icon you can access its main window. You can enter any text you like that could motivate you to get up from your desk.
Shake IT will display a notification from 20 to 30 minutes to remind you to take a break from work. It will also play a sound resembling to maracas or rumba shakers noises.
My only concern regarding this Mac program is the fact that it doesn't let you choose the interval of time between breaks.
As a conclusion, this application might prove to be a smart addition to your collection of Mac utilities. Shake it is very simple to handle, reminds you when it's time for a break with notifications, and comes without a price tag.
Pros
- Simple to use
- Lets you add any message you like for the notification
- Doesn't slow down the performance of your Mac
