There is the equivalent of this app but for paranoia? The app looking up what you are writing and then alert you when you enter into a privacy/security paranoia mindset

Yes, there is a Paranoia Version of the app. I downloaded it. Thanks.

But it started spying on me.

I had to download several new security apps to try to stop the Paranoia Version app from spying on me. And then one of those apps started spying on me.

Then I did a Windows 10 fresh install and went and bought a gun.

The application reminds you to take breaks from the computer

You have already multiple extensions...
Some for Firefox: Search results for "reminder breaks " – Add-ons for Firefox (en-US)
So:
Take a Break,

Blink Reminder

Water Walk: Anti-Sedentary Reminder

etc etc

Surely Chrome has similar extensions...

Ah Water Walk ...
And Pee Reminder... remains to be invented, to make an extension...
I already have some ideas for the icon:


..or Piss Reminder?...what is better

I actually downloaded this "suspicious" open-source app. It runs on Python and is actually quite nice! I need this, especially now.

Very simple, pleasing sounds and visual reminders to "get the hell off of MT"! I am breathing in ... .... I am breathing out. Ahhh!

This one gets the @oldschool Get it now!

I've been using this little known app and it's quite helpful during pandemic time.
