A reminder application!
Are you feeling unproductive because of Zoom fatigue? Are you often sitting in front of your computer wasting away the day? Well do we have the app for you! Time Out is an application where you, the user, can set times to keep yourself being productive WHILE also taking into consideration that everyone needs breaks! Choose from a variety of moods for reminders such as mean, pirate, or even owo-ifyed. With the help of entertaining messages, you can be sure to take some time out to keep yourself productive, healthy, and entertained!
Set a "language" mode and run the program to get desktop reminders to drink water, take a break and stretch, and look away from the screen.
This was build in python using the plyer notification module. We also made use of github.
Ideally we would have a GUI to set things like number of reminders, time between reminders, and "language". However, time constraints meant we couldn't spend time figuring out how to build that.
It is fully functional across two different operating systems!
A lot about python.
Hopefully? More alert messages, and a GUI or terminal commands to control settings.
