Any Break Reminder freeware?

[kalos]

Hello

Do you know any Break Reminder freeware to notify me to take breaks from screen?

I am looking for some features like:
1) independent notification volume that will be audible even if my laptop has zero audio volume
2) identify idle time and exclude it from the break time calculator

Bonus tip if you are not already aware: Breaks From Sitting: Now we know how often and how long!

Thanks!

requirement 1) can be achieved by the (extended) volume mixer of Windows 10 and later.

Have you considered a watch or kitchen timer? Or the built-in clock/alarms app in Windows or your phone?

Thanks, I tried that but for some reason it does not work for me (HP laptop).

I think I came across this but it was a huge 20MB file just for a timer, will try it though, thanks.

That's mostly the content for demonstrating the exercises you could do during the breaks. The software is open source, so you can inspect what it's actually doing, and what's included.

I worked someplace that had workrave installed.  It was a small company.

Some alternatives. I do not know the volume is a thing)

I have used neither of the alternatives above
