This is a simple desktop application designed to remind you to take breaks from your computer screen to rest your eyes. It's based on the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds) but allows you to customize the work and rest times.
- Full-Screen Break Reminder: When it's time for a break, a full-screen window appears to encourage you to step away from your screen.
- System Tray Integration: The application will minimize to the system tray, allowing it to run in the background.
- System Event Handling: The application automatically pauses the timer when the screen is locked or suspended and resumes when unlocked or resumed.
- Peripheral Usage Detection: The application prevents breaks from occurring if peripherals (camera, microphone) are in use.
- Fullscreen Application Detection: The application prevents breaks from occurring if any application is in fullscreen mode.
- Set Work and Rest Times: In the main window, enter your desired work time (in minutes) and rest time (in seconds) in the provided input fields.
- Start the Timer: Click the "Start Timer" button. The main window will minimize to the tray, and the countdown will start.
- Taking a Break: When the work timer is finished, a fullscreen window will appear, prompting you to take your rest.
- Stop the Timer: To stop the timer, you can either:
- Click the "Stop Timer" button in the main window.
- Right-click the system tray icon and select "Stop Timer."
