A project inspired by the study timers on Leading Learners.
Note: win10toast only works on Window 10 devices, as a result, this program will NOT work for devices not using Windows 10
Note: This is my first ever Python project containing a GUI! Hope you like it! :)
As most people are working from home or taking online classes due to COVID-19, procrastination can be a huge problem.
Introducing StudyHawk, a productivity timer that reminds you with notifications on when it is time for your break and when your break ends.
Additionally, halfway through your productivity session, you will receive a friendly notification reminding you that you should not be procrastinating, just in case if you are. When your break is about 75% over, you will also receive a friendly notification informing you that your break is almost over.
-
Download the code from this repository GitHub
-
install win10toast and PyQt5
pip install win10toast
pip install PyQt5
-
Run the program
-
If this is your first time using this program, you will be asked to enter in your name
-
After entering your name, the program will close. When it closes, restart (re run) the program.
-
Once you have restarted the program, set the time you would like to stay productive for and how long you want your breaks to be.
- Don't touch the program
If you would like to change your name, press the "Change Name" button on the right side of the screen. This will remove your name from the program file and will reset the program. Go back to step 1.
