1. Good move to protect yourself as a developer and making the app easily available <i>outside</i> the App Store. 2. Consider supporting older macOS versions. 3. Have a look at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;workrave.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;workrave.org&#x2F;</a> and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dejal.com&#x2F;timeout&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dejal.com&#x2F;timeout&#x2F;</a> for additional feature consideration (competition research). (Tip: Workrave is better, even if TimeOut looks nicer - focus more on that).

Very cool idea. This would also be kind of cool to have a timer that would remind you to look at something in the distance every 5 to 10 minutes to keep your focus range exercise while using computer.

Is this based on any existing research? I would think your body already blinks enough as needed to keep your eyes from drying out.

I don&#x27;t see a LICENSE file. Do you intend to choose a license?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;choosealicense.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;choosealicense.com&#x2F;</a>
