I'm looking for an equivalent of Stretchly for Android.
The goal of Stretchly is not to put a timer on your tasks, but simply to remind you that you shouldn't stay more than 20 minutes looking at your monitor without going to walk, stretch, look far through your window, etc.
- segmondy 7y agoYou can do that with a script, here's mine. It reminds me every 15 minutes. It speaks it via speaker, then captures it and logs it and time. #/bin/bash while sleep 900; do DATE=`date` echo "Hello, what are you doing?" | espeak DOING=`zenity -entry --text="what are you doing?"` echo $DATE, $DOING >> ~/data/doing.txt done
- maelito 7y agoIs it possible to add to this kind of script the monitoring of idle time ? With a reset when back from an idle time longer than the pause.
- segmondy 7y agoYes, there are commands you can use to monitor keystrokes and mouse movement from command line and I'm sure you can use that to track the idle time.
- brobinson 7y agoIsn't this basically the Pomodoro Technique? There's a ton of apps/programs that implement this.
- maelito 7y agoI've not found any that monitors your active time to give "smart" pause advices.
- the_pwner224 7y agohttp://www.workrave.org/ http://www.workrave.org/ Works on Windows (XP or newer) and Linux. Free. Configurable time limits for micro/normal breaks, and a daily limit. Flashes a popup when nearing the limit, then blanks your screen and starts the break timer. Option to postpone the break a limited number of times, or skip the break. Tracks your postpone/skip history and overall usage history so you can be disappointed in yourself for skipping breaks too often. Auto-detects when you have been away from the computer and counts that as break time.
