Take Breath
Take Breath is a program that reminds you when it is time to take a breath from your computer.
Algorithm
When the program starts, it starts a work time counter. When the work time counter is greater than 45 minutes, program notifies you to take a breath and starts a computer idle time counter. When the computer idle time counter is less than 15 minutes, program notifies you that your rest is too short and you should rest more. Otherwise it starts a work time counter again.
Roadmap
- Basic algorithm implementation
- Handle idle while work
- Split app into library and binary parts
- Customization features
- CLI implementation
- Better error handling
- Documentation
- [-] Support for various operating systems
- Linux (X only)
- Mac
- Windows
Building
In order to compile Take Breath program you should have Rust toolchain installed. If you have, just run the following shell commands:
git clone https://github.com/markmelix/take-breath.git
cd take-breath
cargo build --release
It puts compiled take-breath file into the ./target/release directory.
You can also get compiled take-breath program without cloning the repository using the following command: "cargo install take-breath". It puts compiled take-breath file into the ~/.cargo/bin directory.
