Sitting for long periods in front of a computer can negatively affect both eye health and posture. As someone who spends many hours working on a screen, I often experience eye strain and back pain caused by prolonged sitting and poor posture. While there are many productivity tools available, most only remind users to take breaks, and these reminders are easy to ignore. To address this problem, I want to create Pomodoro Pet, a productivity application that actively encourages healthy work habits. Unlike traditional Pomodoro timers, Pomodoro Pet enforces breaks by covering the entire screen and making the computer inaccessible until the break is over. This ensures that users actually step away from their desks instead of skipping their rest periods. Additionally, Pomodoro Pet uses posture detection to monitor the user's sitting position during focus sessions. If poor posture is detected, the application pauses the work timer and blocks the screen until the user returns to a healthy posture. This helps users develop better ergonomic habits and reduces the risk of back pain, neck strain, and other posture-related issues. The goal of Pomodoro Pet is not only to improve productivity but also to protect users' physical well-being. By combining focus sessions, enforced breaks, and posture correction, the application promotes a healthier and more sustainable way of working. It encourages users to maintain good posture, rest their eyes regularly, and avoid the long-term health problems associated with extended screen time. Through this approach, Pomodoro Pet aims to create a balance between productivity and wellness, helping users work smarter while taking better care of their health.
