An App That Will Save Your Programmer Ass From A Sedentary Lifestyle
I have been a software developer for more than 15 years. When I was in my 20s, sitting and programming for long hours was easy. But when I entered my 30s, I noticed that I feel totally exhausted after a day of working behind a computer for many hours straight. I took me doing yoga and gym every day to just get rid of that feeling.
The feeling of exhaustion for so persistent that I started thinking that working such a desk job is just not sustainable. Related health problems started to manifest.
I started digging into this problem and found a solution that worked for me. I developed a tool that would make my screen black for a few minutes every set period of time.
It is called Black Screen.
It is sort of a Swiss-knife tool for keeping you healthy and focused working behind a computer.
This tool was a life saver for me. It allowed to to continue working productively as a software developer. As a result of working in intervals, I stopped feeling half-dead at the end of the workday. With Black Screen, it is easier to be on task without getting distracted to news, socials, and other eye-catching sticky stuff.
