Note that i made this for myself and just my first time sharing an application i made here

Came up with this application with one aim in mind...To Control daily limit for myself as my doomscrolling had worsened quite a lot even while working. So decided to make this as an alternative to Digital wellbeing on Android.

It supports:

focus mode

per app daily limits

background daemon

so far i was able to make it work only on GNOME mutter and all x11 because that is my system...will consider updating in future if this receives positive reviews

I use fedora 44 workstation and it runs perfectly for me...and also tied it on manjaro and linux mint on my VMs with x11 , worked there too....so please check for yourselves and do tell me how it goes

NOTE: if you are a dev then please feel free to contribute

Is this AI generated? Do you have a link to a repository? Why would Devs contribute to some vibe coded app they didn't write?

EDIT: is it that one? Because there is another vibecoded screenguard on Github which looks different.

    It isn't vibe coded friend I have worked on it personally and can assure you it's not vibe coded...just fixed certain anonymous bugs with llm when I got tired... There has been a backlash I know but it's just what it is...thank you

    Yeah please disclose that, pair programming is a fine idea with AI. I'm kind of against AI in general, but if you use it like you claim you do, sounds fine :)

    Maybe you can add an explanation on which parts are LLM assisted and which aren't, like it's done with projects in !selfhosted@lemmy.world.

    Sure will make that clear in README as well... probably after some time because I need to recall...but hey I think I did make agents (debugging) file which shows the bugs patches with llm

    What’s your desktop environment? Is that a themed Gnome?

    It all looks very nice

    Edit: it’s in your post body nvm

    This looks cool! Any chance it could work with KDE in the future?

    If KDE users support it then we'll sure ...why not ...it either ways is in development...I am planning to add something like do not disturb and other android like features too...so ...yes....btw if using x11 in kde isn't an issue...then u can use it in kdetoo(although I think that would be like switching so yeah nvm) TLDR: Working on it pal....will try to add atleast kde and cinnamon support by end of this yeah...and sway , hyprland etc too but will take till next year I guess.....let's see

    I rather like activitywatch for this, which sadly has been a bit buggy in the past for me. Maybe try to contribute there?

    The longer the em dash the more likely...

    ah well, enjoy it for yourself.

    You can have me em dashes when you pry them from my cold, dead hands. This looks like AI for actual reasons, not meme reasons, and em dashes as a sign of LLM usage is pretty outdated at this point; most AI-brained people have their system prompts set up to tell the models not to use them.
