A simple program to protect your eyes
By applying 20–20–20 rules
Why we should protect our eyes?
As a coder, I am watching the screen for more than 8 hours a day. I believe that I will be blind one day if I do not protect my eyes.
20–20–20 rules
There is a golden 20–20–20 rule:
The rule says that for every 20 minutes spent looking at a screen, a person should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. From [1]
I search online and can not find a free reminder app for MAC. So I prepare a simple code to remind me. Basically what the code doing is reminding me every 20 minutes by popping up my favorite photos. You can add some reminder messages from some original images. I am adding some notes by using google drawing.
Remind image 1 for me
Remind image 2 for me
I put those images in my repo, so you can use them to have a quick test and replace them with your favorite images directly.
How to download and use the code
You can get the source code from my GitHub repo here.
You can also download from the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/liketheflower/eye_protector.gitAfter downloading, follow the readme and then you will know how to use it.
