Congrats on the launch! The arm input load monitoring is the part most tools miss entirely, screen time is easy to track but RSI builds up in ways you don't notice until it's already a problem.
Curious whether it adapts break frequency based on the type of work, heavy typing vs mostly reading, feels like it should trigger differently.

@andreitudor14 Thanks a lot, and great question. Yes, Zzzappy is designed to trigger based on real input load, not just screen time, so heavy typing/mouse use raises fatigue faster than mostly reading/idle time. We’re also working on deeper personalization so break timing can adapt even more to individual work patterns.
Oh man the arm input tracking is such a smart angle. Every break reminder I've tried just does a dumb timer, like yeah cool thanks for interrupting me mid flow for no reason lol.
The fatigue score based on actual keyboard/mouse usage is way more useful. Does it learn your patterns over time? Like if I tend to death grip my mouse during crunch weeks does it adjust thresholds?

@mihir_kanzariya Thank you, that’s exactly the problem we wanted to solve. Right now it uses your ongoing keyboard/mouse/trackpad load and fatigue trend to make reminders more context-aware than fixed timers. Automatic long-term threshold learning is on our roadmap, and we’re actively improving this so it can better adapt to periods like crunch weeks.
RSI prevention is underrated - wrist issues took out a few engineers on my team for weeks, costs more in lost output than any break schedule ever would. Curious how the timing works: is it adaptive based on input intensity, or fixed 20-20-20 style intervals?
As someone who builds a focus timer app, I respect this. Most break reminders are just dumb countdowns that interrupt you mid-flow. The fact that you're tracking actual arm input load and not just time is smart. I always ignore the basic "take a break" popups, but if it knows I've been hammering the keyboard for 2 hours straight that's harder to dismiss. Does it detect idle time or just raw input volume?

This should be also for smartphones (which is even worse case, because people have smaller screen to focus on + they hunch over)
