Online Break-Timer

I have written an online break reminder. Basically it will bug you to take a break from the computer every 30 minutes (you can configure the time interval).

If you're not ready to take a break yet, you can snooze for 5 minutes (again, you can configure this time interval), after which it will bug you again. Leave the computer, rest your eyes, and when you come back, hit the big Restart button -- this will reset the clock back to 30 minutes.

    Very nice Timer.

    I didn't hear the sound at end of the time on Linux. On windows I hear it and think it is could be louder even with the speakers ad medium place.

    ps: I'm gonna use it to set my wather time.

    Best regards

    I think it's great, Jon.

    I didn't hear the sound in Firefox, but that's no so bad. Perhaps you should try something with Flash to make the sound work?

    Thanks for the timer. I hope I can force myself to get up and move around and not just re-set it

    I just came across your timer. It's great, especially for those who do not have admin rights at work.

    Just went through lasik and this has been a lifesaver for me to force breaks! No sound in Chrome btw.
    thanks so much
