People should be able to set a limit on how much postpones they should be allowed to do before taking a break

LookAway 2.0 was released (today?) that includes a limit on the number of postpones per day. Instead I would strongly advocate for changing/adding the limit for postponing in a row. My eyes will benefit, I assume, more if I LookAway every hour, instead of zero in the morning (spending all my postpone 'credits') and every 20 minutes in the afternoon. Forcing a break after a set limit, e.g. "Force break after every 2 postpones" ensures at least looking away every hour (at 20 min intervals). I do want to suggest to allow 'snooze 5 minutes' during forced breaks. Sometimes you really can't take a break, but allowing to snooze 5 minutes will probably force you to quickly find a moment to LookAway, instead of postponing every 5 minutes for the rest of the day. This provides both flexibility and eyecare benefits.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. yes - both the "per day" and "per session" limits were planned and the latter will definitely come in a future update.

how about the delays get shorter? for example first delay - 3 minutes, then 2, 1, 30 seconds.. more and more annoying reminders, to force me to get up. Otherwise I sometimes just mindlessly keep clicking, as it doesnt really register if I did it for the 1 or 4th time
