Big Stretch Reminder is an agenda app that reminds you of your breaks in between your work. This program pops up a notification on your desktop screen whenever it's time for you to take a break. With this, you can reduce the risk of getting Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). You can set the interval time between your breaks and choose the content of your reminder—predefined or self-composed message. It is free to download without any spyware or crapware involved.

Highly-customizable

You will generally use the main window of this software for configurations. Thus, in its compact user interface, there are four major areas that you can access, which allows you to customize time, display, messages, and sounds to your preference. Alerts are available in several forms and can be triggered at specific periods you provided that you find convenient for you to take breaks from work and relax for a bit or do somebody stretchings.

Apart from the mentioned customization settings, this software also allows you to pick a reminder style you want. You can choose to prompt a simple balloon reminder that appears near your system tray, a pop-up window, as well as a micro-break feature that stays on your screen for a time before disappearing. Furthermore, you can put your screen on lockdown through various methods, so you can hardly miss or ignore the alert.

For more elaboration of the pop-up messages, you can either receive RSI-related facts or recommendations, motivational quotes from popular people that could inspire your day, or personally customized phrases. You can also opt to set a sound for every reminder you'll get. If you want to, you can further enhance the sound alert with a default tune or custom sound file.

Healthy reminders

Big Stretch Reminder is a simple but vital reminder tool that can help you lead a healthy and balanced work lifestyle. It is a good reminder software to have around to prevent injuries caused by sitting all day long. Its persistent prompt will call your attention to take a break.
