What is Smart Break?
SmartBreak is a mindfulness program that helps prevent eye strain and mental stress by reminding and enforcing regular breaks. It analyzes the way you spend time on your computer and prompts you to rest at the appropriate time, reducing screen time for adults and kids. It is the only RSI prevention program that not just reminds but can also enforce users to take a break.

So primitive!
By Pablo G H (Pcmac user)
I bought this after moving from Windows to Mac to get the benefits of the excellent (and free!) Work Rave program available on Windows. I am so disappointed! This program is so unintuitive, has so few customization options, and does nothing during your breaks. You can snooze (delay a break) onlly once (which is not always enough!) and it is not at all clear how to snooze. When break time comes, it gives virtually no warning, unless you happen to be looking at the stress bar. The only indication of why your Mac locked up is that the screen dims and the word "break" shows up in small white letters in the upper right. I like my breaks to last for 8 minutes every hour, but this app only lets me set break times in 5-minute increments. If something urgent comes up, I don't know how to get control of my Mac back in the middle of a break! I get that it's trying to help me, but I have enough willpower not to cancel my break unless I have to. I wish I could get my $9.95 back. This is the worst program of its ilk that I've ever tried even though it's the only such program I've ever paid money for. The adaptive breaks is why I bothered to pay, but it wasn't worth it.

Unique way to get me off my computer
By Priya612 (Pcmac user)
I struggle to take break from working on my macbook and this app does just what it says and enforces the breaks so that I can’t skip them and continue working.
-
Good for limiting screen time for me and the kids
By patrick-vrd (Pcmac user)
I didn’t expect the app to lock down my computer during the break time. Makes enforcement of breaks much more stricter both for me and my kids - without this I would have just skipped them.

Wants more money after you buy it
By GameNinjazz (Pcmac user)
Buying it from the app store only gives you 15 days of use. After that, it demands that you pay another $15 for a permanent license.
