Winddown - Write code and stay healthy

Be reminded to get off the screen without being interrupted.

After 25 minutes, winddown slowly fades out the colors until you take your hands off the keyboard for a moment.

Save on pain medication and buy me a soda instead:

Warning! This plugin will overwrite workbench.colorCustomizations and editor.tokenColorCustomizations.

Installation

Install winddown from the VS Code marketplace

Configuration

• winddown.winddownDurationMinutes (default 5): Time in minutes until theme colors have fully faded out.

• winddown.postponeDurationMinutes (default 5): Time in minutes you can postpone your break.
