BlinkReminder
An application to remember to take a break from the screen
Reason
I decided to make this, because I couldn't find a proper alternative to SafeEyes which is only available for Linux. The only usable Windows replacement I found was EyeLeo, but I'm not satisfied with that.
Feedback
If you feel like missing something important that would be truly helpful in this kind of app,

- If a full screen application is running breaks are not shown
- If the machine is locked it will be taken either as a small break or a long one, depending on the threshold set in settings
- Can be paused for a certain time, or indefinitely (that is until resume is clicked, or the app restarted)
- Custom quotes for the breaks, can be added in settings
- Most things can be changed in settings (Saved in AppData/Roaming)
