Blink

Blink is a program that helps you to remember to take breaks (and blink your eyes) while using the computer.

Features

• ⏰ Configure multiple timers with intervals, weights, timeouts & declining prompts.
• 🔔 Get a notification and play a sound when its time to take a break.
• ⌨️ Have timers automatically pause or reset when you are AFK.

Installation

You can download the latest executable from GitHub releases.

Usage

Run the executable in the background. You probably want to automatically start the program when your PC boots.

Configuration
