I use your program at work and at home. But this is for my work. We always have 3 default breaks a day. ALWAYS at 10:00u => koffie 12:00u => lunch 14:30u => fruit-break (time for an apple:-) Maybee it is possible to configure this in Workrave, so it will remind us to start a (koffie/thee/fruit-)break at this time. And then, for a configurable time, Workrave will be in pause-mode. (i hope you will forgive me my bad english and my in-expirience using Bugzilla)

Hi, Just started using Workrave this week, as my company stopped with Workpace. And I'm (just as MANY users) very satisfied with your splendid program! The one big thing that I am missing in Workrave, I found it here in this Feature Request: timers. But in addition to the proposed timers, which all correspond to breaks (that last for a certain user configurable time), I also would like to get a warning that the time is reached when I want to stop working (different per day). I already noticed that several days I continued working for much too long compared to what is healthy. As workaround I had to solve it in yet another program, while this is rather basic anti-RSI functionality hence could very well be part of Workrave. Maybe it is also good to raise prio? So in short: I plea for not just a break indicator that lasts a certain time, but also for a working day indicator. Regards, Walter.

I would also like to see this feature implemented, that is, the possibility to program / add some scheduled breaks that always occur at the same time (as sometime if I'm working, I may forget to take lunch breaks at the right time). -Behaviour could be a tab in the parameters (e.g. under "timers") ; -then a "add" button to add a scheduled break ; -for each break, ability to specify title, custom text, time, duration, day of week, and whether it should count as a micro break or long-time break.
