Discreet Reminder

Copyright (C) 2007 Kristian Dupont

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.
It also features conditional reminders that are only triggered if a given application is active. The obvious choice for this is your web browser, game or other procrastination app you might spend your time on. This way, you can make the program nag you every 20 minutes you have been surfing or playing.

You can download it from here.
