SYE Timer

SYE Timer is a useful program. When you work at a computer all the time, our eyes are under the most strain. It takes (in theory) about 10 minutes an hour for our eyes to rest. SYE Timer simply blocks the computer for a certain amount of time, but not less than 5 minutes per hour. The SYE Timer will force you to take your eyes off the monitor, which will help preserve your eyesight and help you control the time you spend working. The program locks your computer at the set time interval of 30 minutes or 1 hour.

Not only basic keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab, Alt+Esc , Ctrl+Esc, but also Win key and Task Manager. When the program is finished, all locks and restrictions are removed. This protects in a certain way against closing a "bothersome" program. It is true that this functionality is present in many blocking viruses, so some anti-viruses (probably) may complain about the program functionality. In addition, SYE Timer is saved in the autostart program at first start up which allows it to control the computer and run at scheduled intervals. SYE Timer is a free, portable application written in C# which requires the .NET framework.

However it is by default in Windows 7 and on XP usually there is a version 2.0 or higher of .NET. Therefore, the program should work on all versions of Windows operating systems from XP and below. The program was compiled under .NET version 2.0 for compatibility with Windows XP. The application consists of only one executable file. The program can be placed anywhere on your computer and run from there. Then SYE Timer will start automatically if you do not delete it from autorun in the settings of the program or remove the program.

If the program is installed on a home computer to control the work of children, it is better not to give them information about the location of the program and its settings. For such cases, there is an option to make the settings inaccessible, as well as not to show links to the site and to the help file.
