Badger

Remind yourself to not sit and stare at the screen for too long

Badgers you to be ergonomic

Badger will periodically send notifications to remind you to relax your eyes, stretch your fingers, and turn your neck among other things. It helps you keep your muscles free and your eyes unstrained.

Built for elementary OS

While Badger will happily compile on any Linux distribution, it is primarily built for elementary OS.

Developing and building

Development is targeted at elementary OS. If you want to hack on and build Badger yourself, you'll need the following dependencies:

• libgranite-7-dev
• libgtk-4-dev
• meson
• valac

You can install them on elementary OS with:

sudo apt install elementary-sdk

Run meson build to configure the build environment and run ninja install to install:

meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
sudo ninja install

Then run it with:

com.github.elfenware.badger

Alternatively, with flatpak-builder, installation is as simple as downloading and extracting the zip archive, changing to the new repo's directory, and run the following command:

On elementary OS or with its appcenter remote installed

flatpak-builder --force-clean --user --install-deps-from=appcenter --install builddir ./com.github.elfenware.badger.yml
