Om denne software

Rester — a different take on time management. Instead of tracking every minute you work and encouraging productivity guilt, Rester gently nudges you to take healthy, regular breaks.

How it works

Rester displays a clean, full-screen overlay that temporarily blocks input to underlying applications. The overlay can be dismissed automatically when the break timer ends or manually canceled. It’s designed to interrupt long, focused sessions and remind you to move, rest your eyes, or eat — helping you maintain better habits and wellbeing.

Key features

• Customizable messages and reminders

• Configurable timers for regular breaks and longer lunch breaks

• Built-in statistics that track how many breaks you took or skipped

• Option to pause or enable reminders manually

• Plugin support for integrating with other apps (currently an MS Teams plugin that detects status via log files; no Teams login required)

• Tray icon that shows the current app state and opens settings

• Manual "Start break" control

Planned improvements

• Enhanced and more engaging statistics

• Customizable overlay images

• Customizable sound effects and notifications

• Additional plugins (open to requests)

• Steam Workshop support

Why choose Rester

Rester focuses on wellbeing rather than productivity pressure. Its simple, unobtrusive design makes it easy to adopt as part of your daily routine — take better breaks, feel better, and come back to work refreshed.
