A simple reminder program that aims to enforce the 20/20/20 eye rule to help protect your eyes.
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20ft away for 20 seconds.
Windows and Linux are the only supported platforms currently. Go to releases page and download the zip file that corresponds to your platform.
Run eyebreak and voila! Every 20 minutes that pass, it will pop up a notification to take a break.
Note: It may take a few seconds on Windows to start up.
Requirements: Python, Rust/Cargo installed.
Clone the repositery then open the terminal, navigate to it and run the following command:
cargo build --release
This should generate an executable file in the target/release/ directory.
In the same terminal session, install the project's python dependencies by running the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then to generate an executable file from the python script, run the following command:
pyinstaller alert.pyw --onefile
This should generate an executable file in the dist directory, copy said executable to the same directory where you stored the cargo generated executable and run the cargo executable and you should be good to go!
