GeekAlarm Help
What Alert Type should I choose? Active or Passive?
- The Active Alert will enforce a break. If you want your breaks to be enforced so that you leave your computer during a break you should choose Active. With Active you will receive a ten second warning before a break begins. At this time you can select to postpone the enforced break for five minutes. If you only want a reminder to take a break without your computer being locked down choose Passive. Default is Active.
What Alarm Interval should I choose?
- You should choose the alarm interval that is best for you. Thirty minutes between breaks might be to little for some people, if so you should choose forty five or sixty minutes between breaks. Default is thirty minute alarm intervals.
What Break Duration should I choose?
- We recommend that you use Dynamic Break Duration. With Dynamic you will receive 15 minutes of break every two hours. If you want a fixed time for each break you can choose between two, four, or six minutes. Default is Dynamic.
What Sound options should I choose?
- We recommend you have both Break Begin and Break End sounds enabled. You will receive an audio prompt at the beginning and end of each break. Default is Break Begin and Break End both enabled.
