Easy to use stress detector

Yostress can help you control your level of stress and protect yourself from its damaging influence. The software is designed to measure your activity on the computer, by monitoring the keyboard strokes, as well as the cursor movement and clicks. Thus, it can detect when the work has become stressful for you, based on the intensity of the activity. Unlike other break time indicators, that rely on a basic timer, Yostress can detect the real amount of stress generated by continuous work.

The software works silently, in the background and displays a small icon in the system tray. It looks like a small green flag at the beginning and it indicates that you can go on with your work. However, when the volume of work and activity increases, the icon can turn red, indicating that it is time for you to take a break.
