The most polished timer app
miloofcroton
I would give it 5 stars if I was able to display the time in the top bar. The circle filling up is hard to glance at.What I love:- the break screens are brilliant, and they legit get me to stand up and look away from the screen (this is a rare feature among timer apps)- it's easy to click one button and accomplish most of what I typically would want to do (I hate the apps with clunky interfaces and needless complexity)- the slider input for the work and break times allow me to customize the app to exactly how I want to work (I hate the apps that use dropdowns and force you to specific times)
If you care about your health, get this

I've used this app for years. I have found Healthier to be invaluable for my health and sanity. Anyone who works all day long on computers knows how unhealthy it is to sit for long periods of time staring at a computer screen. Your eyes, joints, posture, muscle tone, etc. all take quite a hit if you're not careful. This app will help you take breaks that you NEED whether you want to or not. (And, if you are desperate to keep working and need to skip the break, it's very easy to just bypass any break that comes up.) You can configure it to behave how you want. Do you want to work in 1 hour increments? Take longer breaks? You can do that. It's a simple, but highly effective app. Highly recommended.
Best I’ve Found

I spent the past week experiementing with a bunch of “break reminder” apps for OS X (including Time Out, Awareness, Recess, and Breaktime). I wanted something affordable and simple that would remind to take a break every X number of minutes, that was unobtrusive, that would autolaunch at login, that would display status in the menu bar, and allow me to over-ride things if need be. This app was the winner for me. Its working perfectly for needed reminders to get up and move around. As they say, “sitting is the new smoking.” Highly Recommended!
Very Helpful App

This app is very helpful in reminding me to break away from the computer. My only issue is that there are not enough break sound samples to choose from. I am not fond of the glass breaking sound nor the "clown" sound but would like more sounds added to notifiy me it's time to work again. My other request is to make this for the iPhone and iPad as I have caught myself numerous times with tired eyes just looking at posts and email and this app would definitely come in handy in those areas. Although I am not allowed to have this app at work, it did prompt me to use a timer to get up every 15 minutes and rest for 3 minutes. Some of my office mates have caught on to that idea and joined me in getting away from their computers. But, that would not have been thought about if I didn't have this app. Great job!I do love the tips. Could more be added?
