Summary

When browsing we often forget to blink as often as our eyes need it. We forget to drink water and we also sit in a fixed and wrong position for a long period of time. This extension notifies you to blink, drink water, correct your posture and stretch.

If you use the computer for the entire day and follow the reminders you will feel your eyes less tired, you will be better hydrated and you won't feel any numbness.

Recommended settings: Drink reminder - 45 minutes Blink reminder - 20 minutes Stretch reminder - 90 minutes Posture reminder - 20 minutes

why does it only play sounds - i need notifications too to know which is which.

The extension works as it is supposed to be and it has helped me work while staying healthy. I would appreciate it if there was an option to turn on where the notifications would not go away until closed manually. Other than that, it is nice!
