As in the title is there an app for the every 20min look at an object 20m away for 20s rule?

Cheers

    That is what this is though…set a timer for 30min, when I beeps look at something far away for 30s (roughly, exact time isn’t actually important) and then press the “reset timer” button. Repeat until you don’t want to anymore, and then just stop the timer.

    Not every single small thing should be an independent app…

      I used to have an app and it would count 30s every 30 min and I didn’t have to press anything to reset it. It also had an option to vibrate rather than beeping (within app not phone wide)

      I cant achieve that with a timer

        Don’t know what phone you have, but the default clock on my phone has a timer with different levels of alarm (beeping, vibrate, both, notification only).

        I would assume phone wide notification is the better option, because then it always notifies you no matter if the app is open or not, allowing you to also use your phone for other stuff without stopping the timer.

        I don’t know of such a FOSS app (but also didn’t know the concept), and honestly just don’t see why anyone would need it. Is hitting a reset button seriously such a deal breaker?

            No we all get that, but I don’t think many see the reason to use a dedicated app? The functionality you’re asking for is literally just a basic timer…

              When I have the timer on and the screen is locked and it runs out it gives me an option to stop but not to reset and restart. So I have to unlock my screen got turn the clock app change to Timer tab reset and restart.

              Im asking if there is any FOSS app because there is plenty of apps on PlayStore that are doing it but im on GrapheneOS
