Enabled/Disabled Via Selected Applications

I’d love an option to have Look Away automatically work only while specific user-selected applications are running. For me, Look Away is most useful while I’m working. That’s when I tend to fall into bad screen habits, and my work usually involves apps like Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve/Final Cut Pro, FL Studio, and so on. Outside of those apps, I generally don’t need the reminders, so having Look Away continue running can become an unnecessary distraction. The feature I’m suggesting would let users choose which applications they want Look Away to work with. For example, if I selected: - Adobe Illustrator - Adobe Photoshop - DaVinci Resolve - Final Cut Pro - FL Studio Then, as long as at least one of those selected applications is running, Look Away would work exactly as it normally does. Importantly, the selected app would not have to be the application currently on screen. If FL Studio were still running in the background while I switched to Chrome or Notion, Look Away would remain active because I’m still within that work session. Once all of my selected applications are fully closed, Look Away would automatically become inactive. I could then use Chrome, Notion, or anything else without receiving Look Away reminders because none of the applications I’ve specified as needing it are running. Opening any selected application again would automatically reactivate Look Away. For example: FL Studio open + Chrome open → Look Away active FL Studio running in the background + Notion in use → Look Away active All selected work apps closed + Chrome/Notion in use → Look Away inactive Essentially, I’m suggesting an option like: “Only enable Look Away while any of these applications are running.” This would let users apply Look Away specifically to the applications or workflows where they struggle with their screen habits, rather than having to use it universally across everything they do on their computer.
