Safe Eyes

Protect your eyes from eye strain using this continuous breaks reminder. A Free and Open Source Linux alternative for EyeLeo.

Installation

Ubuntu:

1: Add the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:slgobinath/safeeyes

2: Download the package list: sudo apt update

3: Install uget-chrome-wrapper: sudo apt install safeeyes

4: Start Safe Eyes from start menu.

Other Linux:

Manual installation is not tested in any systems. I will update this page as soon as I have tested in any other Linux distributions.

1: Download and extract safeeyes.tar.gz into /opt

2: Download and extract hicolor.tar.gz into ~/.icons or /usr/share/icons

3: Install the dependencies: gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1, python-xlib, python-apscheduler, python-gobject

4: Start Safe Eyes using this command: /opt/safeeyes/safeeyes/safeeyes

Once started, Safe Eyes will copy the desktop file to ~/.config/autostart and the configurations to ~/.config/safeeyes. Therefore, from next time onwards, it should start with the system.

Usage

Just install and forget; Safe Eyes will take care of your eyes. To customize the preferences, go to Settings from Safe Eyes tray icon. For advanced configuration, go to ~/.config/safeeyes folder. There you can change the Skip button text in safeeyes.json and the look and feel of the break screen in style/safeeyes_style.css.
