What is Rest? The Rest app is a tool designed to remind computer users to take breaks at regular intervals to prevent eyestrain, stiff neck, headaches, back aches, and RSI. The app allows users to specify the amount of time they want to work between breaks, the length of the breaks, and how they want to be notified when a break is due. The app resides in the status area of the Mac's menu bar and displays an icon and the current mode (Work or Break) along with a countdown of the minutes left.
1. Simply specify the amount of time you want to work between breaks, the length of the breaks, and how you want to be notified when a break is due.
2. The icon will be blue during work, and turn green during a break and red during paused mode.
3. We all know it is sensible to take breaks while using a computer for extended periods of time, in order to help prevent eyestrain, stiff neck, headaches, back aches, and RSI.
4. These minutes correspond to the length of the work or break period and will decrease.
5. When a break is over, the application will enter work mode again.
6. When a work period is over, break mode will automatically begin.
7. The application will remind you to take a break at the specified intervals by a popup message and/or sound.
8. If you don't want to stop working immediately when a break reminder appears, you can stop the countdown or even postpone the break a little longer.
9. Create 'profiles' to store different time settings, for example an exercise routine, work etc.
10. It displays an icon and the current mode (Work or Break) along with a countdown of the minutes left.
