UnPixel

Help your eyes take a break

🤔 Why?

When staring for long times at computer screen our eyes can get dry and suffer form what is called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

To combat and alleviate the symptoms there is the famous 20/20/20 rule that aims at reducing the stress on our eyes caused by focusing for long periods on the same distance.

This is not medical advice. Read more here and here.

unpixel's Issues

Update Electron version

Electron version update is blocked upstream by electron/electron#26143

[Feature-Request] [Linux/Windows] Pause when Camera/Mic is active

I don't know if this request is technically possible but it would be nice if an option would exist to not interrupt when the camera is on. Because in some meetings I don't want an interruption. But I also don't want to connect my calendar at the end.

Support for multiple windows

Move to Neutralino

https://neutralino.js.org/

This would allow much smaller app sizes.
