I’ve found two other apps that serve a similar purpose. The first is the Ergociser which opens up the Ergociser site and points you to a different exercise each time. The site is actually quite deep in terms of stretches and thus very useful. The second is Workrave. Workrave’s stretch choices are rather limited but it does have lots of options in terms of arranging both breaks and microbreaks.

I usually stop UserHealth when I’m playing. For the UserHealth official website, I’m sure someone will sponsor a domain name for it if you request for. I don’t quite like dot tk. Waiting for your new version.

P/s: While I’m writing this comment, UserHealth beeps and tell me it’s time to sleep. Ohh.. :yawn:

Hi there!

I am the author of Userhealth. I found your blogg and wanted just to leave a note. Your suggestion about the possibility to use your own mother is something I will consider to include in next release (Long time sense I wrote and updated this program now, but maybe I will take the time and release a new version soon). About the full screen game problem I have experienced that more then one time :p. There is however a option that allow you to only use sound warnings and no popups during game play, but this is something that I should implement to be automatically enabled during full screen game play maybe.

However, it is always fun to read about people using my little freeware software.

Best Regards

I think they do have the auto-shutdown thingy, but I’m not sure.

P/s: I’ve experience the annoying mother nag twice since I installed it yesterday..

nice app. Well, since I do not play games on the com, it will not affect me much. Good for those that are hooked on it. They should include an auto-shutdown feature for it.

I ain’t certainly sure if it will disturb game play. Maybe you can have a try, and tell us here

Sounds like a nice little app. Since most of my work is done on the computer that program should help me take frequent breaks. I just need to remember to shut it off when I’m playing cz though heh.
