How to take care of your Health as a Developer
Take breaks every 20-30 mins. You can use any app to remind you of breaks. I personally used Strechly when I was on Windows, it is a great app for this purpose. On Linux, I use Safe Eyes, same concept, just some UI changes, and more features.

Looking for apps to increase Productivity
For desktop/laptop I've been using Stretchly to limit screen time. It pops a blank screen every 20min or so. You can allow override or not. For me it works surprisingly well. Forces me to get up the desk. Works on all major OSs and it's free and open source.

Repetitive Strain Injury - What is it & How to avoid
The last app in this post is Stretchly which is also a cross-platform app. There is a portable option available, just download and extract it to a directory and run the application, as simple as that. Like the other two programs, this one also sits in the tray and displays notifications during breaks.
