About
Big Stretch Reminder displays regular prompts during computer use, giving you a clear cue to pause and step away from the screen. These breaks are intended to help users avoid symptoms associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI), particularly when computer work occupies much of the day. When the pause is simply part of the daily routine, the program can also remind you that it is time for a coffee break.
Its central feature is a straightforward break prompt, keeping the software focused on one practical task rather than broader workplace or health-management functions. Someone working at a computer can use the prompts to create a definite point for interrupting continuous work and taking a regular pause. This makes it suitable for people who want a simple reminder to step away during computer-based work, whether the goal is an RSI-conscious break or an ordinary coffee interval.
Published by Matt Lester, Big Stretch Reminder is a Windows program in the System Tools category. The current version is 2.1 and it is released as freeware. Its intended audience is anyone who spends time working at a computer and wants regular break prompts from a focused utility.
