been using something similar and the main issue was it interrupts during calls or when youre mid-sentence in a doc. the context awareness bit here is interesting — how does it detect that? like is it checking mic activity or just watching for full-screen apps?
honestly these forced breaks help on long sessions. the snooze behavior is what makes or breaks these tools - if it's too easy to bypass, people just disable it.
hy @kushsolitary your product is good, i liked, but i want to know something because i come from non-tech background.
how did you build it?, is this vibe coding or manual coding?
That’s such a sweet idea. You just reminded me to give my eyes a break.
I’ll add from myself: during screen breaks, it’s important to go to the window and look into the distance. It’s also very good for your eyes.
Beautiful through and through!
