Time Out 2.1

This utility was developed for Mac users who need to know when it's time for a break from their work.

Time Out features an intuitive interface, so you don't require much computer experience to configure this program according to your needs.

Its Setup Assistant can guide you every time you wish to alter the reminder settings and you can always check the integrated help manual. The program lets you add two reminder entries (you need to make a donation to have the ability to add unlimited reminders), one for normal work breaks (more than 5 minutes) and another for micro breaks. The latter is perfect for reminding you to stretch a little or relax your eyes and the other for making a few steps from your desk or grab lunch.

A great aspect is that you can define global hotkeys for starting or postponing breaks, disable sound alerts, etc. What's more, the program allows you to select exclusions for break reminders. To be more specific, you can configure the app to block reminder alerts while you're watching a movie.

This version comes with a wide range of new features and improvements. It now gives you access to an Edit Break option, a Start Next Break command, new alert sounds, the ability to post your progress on Tweeter, and so much more.

All in all, Time Out is a simple and helpful app that comes in handy to people who frequently forget to take breaks from their work. This tool offers you many useful features, works great, and is free. Don't forget that is is also helpful for your health.
