Time Out 1.7

An important thing you should consider when working in front of a Mac is to take breaks on a regular basis.

Sitting in front of the computer for hours might affect your health, triggering visual problems and back afflictions. A solution for this issue comes with Time Out, a simple program that lets you know when it's time to take a break from work.

Any users would be able to configure its settings with ease as it was designed to meet the needs of both novices and professionals. You get to choose from two types of breaks: Normal (for 10 minutes after 50 minutes of work) and Micro (break of typically 10 seconds every 10 minutes).

The program allows you to choose songs from your own music collection and set them as sound alarms which inform you that it's time to stop working for a while.

An advantage of using this application is that it enables you to set break exceptions when working with certain apps. More exactly, you can configure the program to automatically skip breaks when a certain program is frontmost.

To sum it all up, I think Time Out is an excellent solution for making you aware it's time to take a break from work. It offers you plenty of alarm configurations, it's very simple to handle, and it comes with no price.
