What is FadeTop?

FadeTop

FadeTop is a neat little app that hangs out in your system tray and gently reminds you to take breaks. How? By fading your screen to a calming color that you can pick!

Why Use FadeTop?

So, what’s the deal with FadeTop? Well, it has two main jobs. First, it helps your eyes relax by nudging you to step away from the screen every once in a while. Second, it does this without being annoying or distracting. Super cool, right? Plus, it's super easy to install and doesn’t hog your computer's resources.

Smooth Fading Feature

When it's time for a break, FadeTop starts fading your screen into a color or image of your choice. This smooth effect is really nice to look at and can even come with a relaxing sound if you want! It's like a mini vacation for your eyes.

Tracking Your Breaks

As the fade happens, you'll see some helpful info pop up on the screen. First off is a clock showing how long you've been working. Right below it is the break trail that shows all the breaks you've taken—solid boxes represent each break! Then there's the Health Index which tells you what percentage of breaks you've actually taken compared to how many you’ve skipped.

User-Friendly Settings

You can easily access all of these features through its system tray icon. A quick right-click brings up the FadeTop Options, where you can set how long before it reminds you and adjust colors. Simple as that!

Advanced Customization

If you're feeling adventurous, there are even more settings available by tweaking some configuration files. They’re not super obvious at first glance, but don’t worry! You can find an easy-to-follow tutorial on FadeTop's webpage.

A Great Productivity Booster

This little app not only keeps things simple but also does its job really well! Using FadeTop might just help keep your eyes relaxed and boost your productivity throughout the day.
