BlinkBlink0.2.4

BlinkBlink places a full-screen break reminder over the display, prompting you to stop and look away from your computer. It is built around the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, spend 20 seconds looking at something 20 feet away. Custom schedules let users adapt reminder timing to their particular work or study routine.

When a break arrives, the overlay marks the pause visibly so attention can shift away from screen work. Streak and statistics tracking records how consistently breaks are followed, allowing progress to be reviewed over time. The straightforward interface keeps scheduling controls and break information easy to understand.

BlinkBlink suits professionals and students who spend extended periods working or studying at a screen, especially those trying to establish more regular break habits. Its combination of visible prompts, adjustable timing, and adherence tracking supports both occasional reminders and longer-term habit building.

Wei-Cheng Huang publishes BlinkBlink as freeware. The current release, version 0.2.4, runs on amd64 Linux systems and requires snapd.
