FadeTop: Have your computer gently remind you when it's time to take a break

There's no secret that most of us spend time at our computers or laptops more and more, at work, at home and on the go. We're basically living on the internet these days and while this may be fun for some, from time to time, it's healthy for our brains, our eyes and our body to take a break.

FadeTop is a simple application that's designed to help you do just that, take smaller breaks from your computer at pre-set intervals. The application sits quietly in the system tray and only notifies you when the break period is due, without showing you different nagging pop-ups. Basically, it's an unobtrusive tool that uses little to no resources to stay active.

The software has a very nice interface providing the user with various useful elements such as the time when the last break was made, the number of breaks taken and the health index, which is the percentage of breaks taken vs the ones that were skipped.

In conclusion, we like FadeTop a lot, we use it in our offices for our daily stretches and some of us even at home, doing some late night work. We strongly recommend giving it a try for a couple of days, you'll thank us later.
