I had been looking for a tool that could remind me to do reality checks repeatedly throughout the day. Also, I wanted it to remind me to look away from the monitor every now and then, to save my eyes. I tried Workrave which is actually really neat, but I found it to be too obtrusive. Also, I use the clock in Yahoo Widgets to remind me to do back exercises which I do once a day, but I wouldn’t want that to pop once every hour or so either. Searching del.icio.us, I found a vast number of reminder tools, but most of them were web2.0 things (this one: remember the milk is quite cool) which didn’t suit my needs.

So I made one myself, and I have been quite happy with it. Try it out.
