UnHook

UnHook

If you are one of the rare breed of people who call themselves programmers, you must have faced the following sitation:

You were so busy working, that you forgot to take a break while coding... now your eyes hurt due to the excessive stress on them.

The solution? Use UnHook, an app that helps you un-hook yourself from the screen by reminding you to take breaks at the right time.

Demo

Platforms

1. Windows
2. Linux
3. MacOS

Tools/Frameworks Used

3. Redux (This is an overkill for such a small app, its used for practicing redux + electron integration)

How to Use

1. Download and go to the repository location.
2. Install depenencies for main app using npm run install-dependencies
3. Perform either of the following based on the development status of the app you are using:
   • PRODUCTION (default): Use npm run build-front-end to build the react app
   • DEVELOPMENT: Use npm run start-front-end to start the react app
4. Use npm run dev to start the electron app

Packaging

The app won't run properly in the browser as it is made specifically for desktop using electron
