One nice feature of NowDo20 is that the timer would run for "20 minutes", then it would tell you to take a break, and then it would NOT restart until you asked it to.

I find that the other pages have their timers continually running. They run for 20 minutes, then they tell you to take a break for 20 seconds, and then they IMMEDIATELY restart.

I find this behavior annoying.

Well... I've discovered that

https://nowdo20.com/

has a timer that is too slow. It is too slow by about 5 minutes over 20 minutes! 🤬

I had an inkling it was too slow, but then I asked Home Assistant to set a timer for 20 minutes, and it ended with about 5 minutes still on the clock at nowdo20. 😬

The search for a decent timer continues...

Ah, the age-old quest for the most convoluted way to read your Linux terminal: using an E-Ink tablet as a monitor! 🤓 Who needs color or animation when you can strain your eyes for 6 glorious minutes instead? 🎉 Clearly, we've reached the pinnacle of tech innovation!

Free and Open Source Eyes Guard for Windows - Because Taking a Break is best for Avoiding Eye Strain from long time in front of Screens

I've featured Safe Eyes for Linux before so this one is for Windows users. We read more and more about blue light filters (and it also being recently debunked) to avoid eye strain, but the most important preventions are taking forced breaks every 20 minutes, not sitting too close to the screen, having correct eye focus, and not having the brightness set too high.
Eyes Guard will allow you to enable forced breaks. Another good alternative for Windows (not open source) is called Eye Saver which in addition has anti flicker and blue light filter options too.
