Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When am using Folatie to read my books, safe eyes doesn't notice that am using my computer and the breaks stops popping up.

Describe the solution you'd like I think currently it tracks my use of keyboard or mouse to track if am using a computer, I would suggest also to check the computer camera for example am using my laptop and it has a cam, so i would like for safe eyes to see if am using my computer or am sat next to it or looking at it.

Describe alternatives you've considered It may also take camera shots to capture if am still in-front of the computer, or may be try to see what application am currently using if the app category is on the reader category example news apps, feeds apps or e-books apps

This behavior is not expected. Which OS and which version of safeeyes are you using? How did you install safe eyes? Does it happen only when you use Foliate in full screen? Or does it always happen when you just open Foliate?

It may also take camera shots to capture if am still in-front of the computer

There is no way we are going to implement such a privacy-violating behavior.

Am using Zorin 16.3 With Ubuntu 20.04 kernel SAFE EYES version 2.1.6

Is foliate full screen when the error occurs?

Is the error present in version 2.1.9 https://launchpad.net/~safeeyes-team/+archive/ubuntu/safeeyes/+files/safeeyes_2.1.9-0~202406190027~ubuntu24.04.1_all.deb ?
