Every academic should have this!

I’m a college professor and yes, I spend hours on end in front of the computer. Much to the detriment of my lower back, I needed something that was going to change that. This app is AMAZING for reminding you to take periodic breaks. In particular, I LOVE that it covers the screen during breaktime, making it so that you MUST get up and take a break. (Note: If you don’t like that or if you’re in the middle of something important, you can undo the screen block with a simple click.) My only wish is that it was connected to the iphone and the iPad. Not everything I do is on my laptop. Therefore, when I’m grading student papers, I like to be reminded via phone to take a break. The app is really simple and all one needs to get the job done!
