• Can be paused for a given period (e.g. for meetings, pair programming sessions etc.)
• Simple uncluttered interface
• Simple JSON config file

Requirements

• python3
• rumps
• py2app

Building

python3 setup.py py2app

Installation

Just drop the app located in dist/ folder to your Applications folder.

Configuration

All configuration is done by editing the JSON file. It is located in ~/.local/blinkblink/config.json. Here is an example:

{
    "interval": 1200,
    "pause": 3600,
    "reminder": "Move your eyes away from the screen :)"
}

Both intervals are in seconds. The default values are as per this example, that is, 20 minutes for the reminder interval and 1 hour for pause.
