Good review. What is you rythm for micro-breaks and rest breaks? I use Workrave for 3 years now. I experienced that after some time I always clicked away the alerts. I skipped the breaks most of the time. When I noticed that I configured Workrave differently. You can setup that you cannot ignore the breaks. So that works fine now :)

I suffered from RSI about ten years ago. I had a constant pain in my hand, wrist and fingers, even when doing nothing. Fysiotherapy helpt me a lot. Now I'm painfree but who nows what happens? It looks like an interesting program, maybe I give it a try.

I can think of quite a few people this might be useful for. When I was still spending so many hours behind a screen, I really struggled with carpal tunnel syndrome, so I would most probably have tried this for sure!

Reading this review after an exceptionally long day in front of my computer allowed me to see how beneficial this kind of tool can be. It seems a good choice to help you establish regular breaks. A timely and thorough review about an important issue concerning both our work and leisure activities!
