Problem description

Situation: I watch Youtube videos sometimes, and I usually watch them in full screen mode; hence, windows 10 will automatically turn into Do Not Disturb mode. I want this app notify me only when I have finished one video and exited full screen mode, rather than interrupt me while I am watching a video. Currently, there are two options: check "Show breaks even in Do Not Disturb mode", and the app will interrupt me while I am watching a video; do not check this option, and if the break happens while I am watching a video, there will be no break at all.

Possible solution

Add another option: "Hold breaks until exited Do Not Disturb mode"

Behavior:

  1. The program should keep counting while Do Not Disturb mode is on, and store pending breaks.

  2. When the user exits Do Not Disturb mode, if there are pending breaks, show a notification: You have been using computer for xxx minutes since last break, and have missed a (mini break/long break), do you want to start the break now?

Whether to show "mini break" or "long break" depends on what's the biggest break the user have missed.

Or maybe no choice, just like normal notification of break.

Alternative solutions

  1. Being interrupted while watching videos, which is annoying.
  2. Disable this app if I am watching videos, and reenable when I have finished.

Hi and thanks for the feedback. I'll keep this opened, but as I am super busy, this will not happen any time soon as this would be bigger job to do.
