Fadetop

What is Fadetop?

FadeTop is an application designed to promote healthy computing habits by regularly reminding users to take breaks from their screens. At pre-set intervals, the program fades the desktop to a calming blue hue and displays the current time, serving as a gentle cue for users to pause their work, rest their eyes, and attend to their physical well-being

Highlights

• Automated break reminders: FadeTop activates at the 0th, 15th, 30th, and 45th minute of each hour, providing a consistent and reliable prompt for users to step away from the computer
• Fade-to-blue transition: The desktop gradually fades to a soothing blue color, creating a visual signal for the user to shift their focus away from the screen
• Current time display: The application displays the current time, allowing users to quickly check the clock without disrupting their workflow
• Flexible activation: FadeTop only becomes active after the program has been running for at least 15 minutes, ensuring that users are not interrupted during short computing sessions.
