20³

A System Tray app that provides a reminder to follow the 20/20/20 rule.

Description

It's recommended to abide by the 20/20/20 rule when looking at a screen | or in other words:

Every 20 minutes take a break for 20 seconds to look at something 20 feet away. More info here.

When using similar apps I found I would frequently not notice the notification or sometimes just ignore it altogether. In an attempt to strike a balance between being annoying enough to grab the users attention and not blocking any functionality, when it's time to look away and let your eyes rest 20³ will fade the users screen in and out for the entire duration.

Installation

> git clone https://github.com/Tbruno25/twenty_cubed
# cd into the twenty_cubed directory 
> pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Double click 20³.pyw or execute

> python 20³.pyw

The app should now be launched in your System Tray.

Left clicking the app icon will toggle it's current state:

Green is active

Red is paused

While active every 20 minutes the screen will alternate fading as a reminder to look away.

Right clicking will bring up a menu to exit the app.
