RSIBreak takes care of your health and regularly breaks your work to avoid repetitive strain injury (RSI)

It displays a random picture from a collection at specified intervals for defined durations. You can configure the pictures to show and lengths of time to show them. You might use the breaks reminders to do some stretching exercises, for example, or as a reminder to walk away from the computer for a while.
