RestYourEyes

This is a very simple AutoHotkey script to remind you to rest your eyes. Every 20 minutes, a notification will be displayed:

• Click "Yes" to play two beeps at 10-second intervals. Close your eyes until you hear the first beep, and then focus on a far away object until you hear the second beep.
• Click "No" to close this notification. It will also close automatically if no button is pressed within 20 seconds.
• Click "Cancel" to disable these notifications for 1 hour. Otherwise, another notification will appear in 20 minutes.

Closing your eyes for 10 seconds may help with dryness, and focusing on a far away object for 10 seconds may help with eye strain due to focusing fatigue.

To run the script automatically on startup, create a shortcut in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
