Break Reminder for Ubuntu?

Here is another tool called Safe Eyes for the same purpose:

sudo apt install safeeyes

Alternatively, you can install it from the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:slgobinath/safeeyes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install safeeyes

Safe Eyes Short Break Screen

Features:

  • Short breaks with eye exercises
  • Long breaks to change physical position and to warm up
  • Strict break for those who are addicted to computer
  • Do not disturb when working with fullscreen applications( Eg: Watching movies)
  • Disable the keyboard during break
  • Notifications before every break
  • Support multiple displays
  • Pause automatically if the system is idle
  • Optional audible alert at the end of breaks
  • Multi-language support

I suggest you to take a look at Take A Break.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vlijm/takeabreak
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install takeabreak

Good question. I found out Workrave, that is available from the Software Centre. A similar programme, but thought for wrist care, is Xwrits, also available from the Software Centre.
