Save Your Eyes (SYE)

Generates a bash script which will notify you when you spend too much time working on PC.

Delay between notifications depends on your age (this feature is commonly for children).

Install

git clone https://codeberg.org/DarkCat09/saveyoureyes.git
cd saveyoureyes
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

1. Time

Delay is set to the safe time according to the table below.

Age	Safe	Warning
5 - 7	10	30
8 - 11	15	45
12 - 13	20	60
14 - 15	25	80
16 - 17	30	90
18+	60	90

2. Exclusions

You can add some applications to whitelist/exclusions.
When they are in processes list, notifications won't appear.

For exmaple, add vlc to disable script while you're watching a film.

3. Text and type

Enter notification text, title, and choose how script should send it.
Here are some exmaples:

Description	Screenshot
GtkDialog: opens dialog using python module https://codeberg.org/DarkCat09/showdialog.
libnotify: executes notify-send command.
Open browser: opens a simple web page using xdg-open.

4. Build and add to crontab

Then, the script will be generated from .template.sh and written to ~/.sye.sh.
If you want, it can automatically update crontab to run sye.sh after system boot.

But I recommend to use "Autorun" from KDE Settings if you are using Plasma. It works much better.
