Rest Time

Rest Time is a handy tool that helps you remember to take breaks while working on your computer. It's super important for your eyes and hands to get some rest, and taking breaks can actually help you stay more productive during the day!

Why You Need Breaks

Your eyes can get tired from staring at screens too long, and your hands might feel sore from all that typing. So, having something like Rest Time around can really help.

How It Works

This little utility sits quietly in your status bar while you work. When it’s time for a break, it sends you a full-screen notification. No more excuses for ignoring those important pauses!

Getting Started with Rest Time

To kick things off, just double-click on Rest Time, and it’ll add itself to your status bar. From there, you can easily keep track of how much time is left until your next break.

Customizing Your Breaks

If you click on its menulet, you’ll see an easy-to-use interface that lets you pause the countdown or even delay your break by a preset amount of time. You can also change how long each break lasts and when they happen by clicking the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the menu.

The Break Countdown

When it's finally time to rest, Rest Time covers your screen with a black overlay showing a countdown timer and a pie chart so you know exactly how much longer until you're back at it!

Easily Manage Multiple Monitors

If you're using multiple monitors or step away from your Mac for a bit, no worries! Rest Time automatically pauses the countdown until you're back in front of your screen.

A Friendly Reminder System

You’ll also get reminders when there are only 10, 5, or 3 minutes left before your break starts—perfect for keeping yourself on track!

Your Health Matters!

All in all, Rest Time is an awesome utility for Mac users who sometimes forget to take breaks. With it running in the background, you'll not only help avoid issues like eye strain and repetitive stress injuries (RSI) but also keep focused on what matters most—getting things done efficiently!
