ricebreak is your chaotic Zen master — a custom systemd break reminder that runs only inside Hyprland, warns you if you overwork, and may unleash fullscreen JUMPSCAREs (unless you’re in a meeting).
Now powered by Hypridle, the Wayland-native idle detection daemon.
- ✅ Runs only inside Hyprland
- ✅ Idle-aware via
hypridle(no need for xprintidle) - ✅ Warns you when overworked via espeak and notify-send
- ✅ Plays meme video (optional) unless you’re in a meeting
- ✅ Respects GNOME session — doesn't run there
- ✅ Easy to install and configure
