BlinkReminder

An application to remember to take a break from the screen

Reason

I decided to make this, because I couldn't find a proper alternative to SafeEyes which is only available for Linux. The only usable Windows replacement I found was EyeLeo, but I'm not satisfied with that.

Feedback

If you feel like missing something important that would be truly helpful in this kind of app,
Or if you have found a bug (of which there might be many or few),
Then: https://github.com/ZsoltGajdacs/BlinkReminder/issues/new/choose
Write! :)

Current features

  • Displays either a full screen blocking window, where keyboard is mostly disabled
  • Or a small screen on the lower right corner, which doesn't disable anything
  • If a full screen application is running breaks are not shown
  • If the machine is locked it will be taken either as a small break or a long one, depending on the threshold set in settings
  • Can be paused for a certain time, or indefinitely (that is until resume is clicked, or the app restarted)
  • Custom quotes for the breaks, can be added in settings
  • Most things can be changed in settings (Saved in AppData/Roaming)
  • Can check for update or go to bug report site (Issue opener here on GitHub) in About
  • Notification before breaks
  • Long breaks lock the machine

Planned features

  • Multi display support
  • Home / Office mode
  • Statistics about usage
  • Better looks
