I wanted to give my eyes a rest while working. Opthalmologists and optometrists recommend every 20 minutes, look at something 20 ft away for 20 seconds. I found an app to do so. Like your app, it has a big full screen break, and some way to tell you to you your break was incoming. I found two things: first, the full screen thing was jarring and too much (also I had to click to dismiss it iirc). I changed the app to use notifications only. It sent a "get ready" notification 5s before, an "ok go". notification before, and a "you're done!" Notification with sound effect after 20s. Each of these notifications cleared after 5s do I didjt have to babysit it. And secondly, the full version of the app cost $10, which I felt appalled at paying for something that sends notifications every 20m. I'll definitely take a look at this to see if it's something I could use instead. My eyes definitely felt less tired when taking frequent short breaks, and it gave me some space to reset my thought patterns (sometimes useful when down a debugging rabbit hole)
