Break Reminder for Ubuntu?

Here is another tool called Safe Eyes for the same purpose:

sudo apt install safeeyes

Alternatively, you can install it from the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:slgobinath/safeeyes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install safeeyes

I suggest you to take a look at Take A Break.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vlijm/takeabreak
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install takeabreak

Good question. I found out Workrave, that is available from the Software Centre. A similar programme, but thought for wrist care, is Xwrits, also available from the Software Centre.
