The task was to create a lightweight break notification system for two categories of employees: for smokers - with 5 min break every hour, and for non-smokers - with 10 min break every two hours. Also, one of the requirements was to make it a "turn-on-and-forget" solution, i.e. after the timer is started, it notifies on breaks at the set time round-the-clock. No suitable tool was found at that time. There existed either paid solutions, or those that were difficult to set up, or those that were not flexible enough to solve the given task. Therefore, this timer was created.
