new feature: bedtime/downtime mode 😜

[boykensoidong]

I had a great time using the WNR focus/promodo app. with 25work-5mins rule.

thanks Roderick Qiu very much for help other people has better/healthy life 🥰

Working on laptop has a lot of interesting things to do, so i can't force myself go to bed earlier. 1-2AM working late lack of sleep actually damaged to my brain, mental health.

I tried to duplicate WNR on macos app. but it uses/saves the same data. so i can't use it as 2 standalone apps. with 2 purposes: 1 -for focus-relax, 2 -for bedtime mode

so could you make a (bedtime/downtime mode) intergrate into WN R app? or make a different app with the same sourceCode to resolve my problem/bad habits. and make WNR the most wellbeing and strict app ever.

My idea about bedtime mode is: (Ability for setting a specific time at custom time, example 10PM). the app will automatically start a Rest from 30-mins to -> 2hours or couples of hours). can't use laptop at 10PM and a few hours after that. so we tend to go to bed earlier.

I'm excited for the next update feature of wrn. 😭 that I mentioned above. thank you very much 🥺 hope you make it soon

[RoderickQiu]

Good suggestion. Will try to make it later.

[boykensoidong]

Hopefully it will be easy to get things done,  worth waiting!

[RoderickQiu]

Didn't seem to have a lot of time, so the bedtime mode will be made later. Before that's done, you can check out this: https://github.com/RoderickQiu/wnr/releases/tag/v1.28.1-2nd which is the mode I just made as a second instance of wnr.

[boykensoidong]

nice, i used Wnr-2nd for playing around in-app setting, beside the main WNR 2.8.1.

After looking closely in setting, I see the feature of [Task-Reservation ] "Preplan a task for the future" is exactly the same bedtime mode that i wishing for.

i gernerally preset 2 tasks: 1-exercise time (good) 2-bedtime (the most important)

but in the early stage it's not stable enough.

[boykensoidong]

by the way: i use this trick for bedtime mode 99% work but it has cons:

• mannualy click start timing, then quit app everyday. 😭

---

like this video i have recorded here: https://youtu.be/th3vaXeD_BM

1. Start timing then QUIT app.
2. use Calendar to schedule OPEN wnr at 10:00pm, (will continues re-counting from 1 above)
3. quit wnr app at 5:00am (before using laptop at morning) Via Automator (exit app purpose)

hope you make it stable! ❤️

Being busy again lately, but your ideas are great. Will consider later.

like this video i have recorded here: https://youtu.be/th3vaXeD_BM

1. Start timing then **QUIT** app.

2. use Calendar to schedule **OPEN** wnr at 10:00pm, **(will continues re-counting from 1 above)**

3. quit wnr app at 5:00am (before using laptop at morning) Via Automator (exit app purpose)

hope you make it stable! ❤️

Oh anyway, if you manage to auto-start it everyday, then you can try the setting that let the default preset be started automatically - and choose fullscreen mode on. Does that help?

[boykensoidong]

no, i found in wnr setting there is no way to set (default preset be started automatically) when launch the app. consider to make ability to start-timing automatically on default preset , right after user open app. make a check box or run as default like this 😀

[RoderickQiu]

Oh I thought I've made that feature but actually I didn't qwq... Will make this in next version.

[RoderickQiu]

Just found that I've truly made that before but got that setting section missing when I refactored the preferences panel. So I quickly come up with this function. Anyway, because I'm lazy about making a new version about simply this change, tell me the platform you use (win-installer, win-zip, mac) and your preferred arch and I'll send you a version separately.

The setting section will be directly under the predefined timing schedules section.

[boykensoidong]

okay, i understand! i mainly use Macos, rarely work on Winx64 .you could put it over github or send me to mail boykensoidong@gmail.com thanks! my Primary mail (tuantran93hb@gmail.com) is out of 16gb free storage

[boykensoidong]

Awsome, you're thougtful! Thank again for making this the earlier version come up with auto start-timing. i was using wnr-2nd for downtime (bed/excercise time) and it really worked 😀 100%

With some steps set up: Macos: (Automator + calendar) https://allthings.how/how-to-automatically-launch-and-close-an-app-on-mac-at-scheduled-times/ Windows: (Task schedule) https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-automate-windows-programs-on-a-schedule/#:~:text=To%20schedule%20an%20automatic%20task,Library%2C%20and%20select%20New%20Folder%E2%80%A6 https://www.conceptworld.com/blog/index.php/run-an-app-automatically-at-specific-time-using-a-windows-task-scheduler-alternative/

one more feature's suggestion maybe useful too.

Pause when computer is on system idle ("The computer is considered to be idle by Windows if there has not been user interaction via the mouse or keyboard for a given time " )

Describe bellow:

1. Non-fullscreen (user is working on PC, by some reasons they leave PC for 5mins,10mins,15mins... And back to work) so we need Idle tracking mouse here I mean: pause when no mouse is moving in about 3mins, continue counting when user back to work.

2. Fullscreen-counting ( ignore IDLE tracking at this sceen because In this case: user relax and stay away from PC, so require time continue counting to end to complete session)

[boykensoidong]

watch video see how it works: https://youtube.com/shorts/vqY7aDw3RX0?feature=share

similar apps has that feature: Tadama Workflow-Timer (Auto start and IDLE) https://github.com/boykensoidong/FOCUS_BREAK_Timer_APP--Tadama-Workflow-Timer--Pavel-Alexeev

[RoderickQiu]

Another guy asked me this the other day, but I might not add it because I think in every this kind of case you can manually stop your task. But this do remind me, that I shall really make something, that, if it has been paused for long, allow the people to restart this period to start counting down again. Let's see when I will be free to do this because I will be likely to have some big tasks recently.

[boykensoidong]

ok fine. Idle is not necessary to me, next time i use the hotkey to pause quickly 😋

a little acceptable bug i found today, tell you know why "auto start default task" does not run when any "task reservasion" is added. https://youtu.be/iTLzTTzL3iI

By the way, do you still keep wnr-2nd version from your pc?

sorry for bother you, but today i realize that it's indeed slowly when run on Mac M1 Chipset with WNR -2ND MacOS-x64 compared to ARM64 native-version. you can see how slowly it was in video: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlC3TpmfvbrB05omCbxeZNu2ZR_Aupaiv

wnr-2nd-1.28plus you had exported only 64bit (not include Arm64). it was my fault not telling you exactly my M1-ARM cpu.

could you re-build/export wnr-2ND ARM64 for me 🥺 u could manually edit and add new update item on github web release page (pre-realease of 2nd ver) https://github.com/RoderickQiu/wnr/releases/tag/v1.28.1-2nd I will check 2nd release page later by myself! thanks

[RoderickQiu]

There's already an ARM build for macOS here, in the assets section of https://github.com/RoderickQiu/wnr/releases/tag/v1.28.1-2nd , isn't this what you are seeking anyway

Yes, just found that bug, and will be merged in next version, thanks.
