Anti RSI Software

RSI stands for Repetitive Strain Injury. It results from repetitive motion of hands, wrist and long time incorrect posture that keeps specific muscles tense all the time. It is commonly seen in people who use computers a lot.

It is helpful to use more human-friendly mouse and keyboard, comfortable chairs and desks and pleasant work space; however we easily forget how long we use a computer when entirely concertrating on the work. Anti-RSI software can reminds us regular breaks and micropause .

Yun Fang recommended Workpace software to me yesterday. It offers a 30-day trial version, but charges a fee after that period. I found two alternative free anti-RSI software: Workrave for Windows and Linux and AntiRSI for Mac OS.
