love to do this, so brought it to GNOME as well

i just love to wiggle mouse in my free time when i am on my Manjaro kde VM. It just feels so good but them my GNOME based fedora 44 didnt have it because jiggle and wiggle are outdated...and weell wiggly...it just doent work with the similar physics of KDE with incremental size increase.

So , to give myself a break from my work I VibeCoded this.

Yes i openly am stating that this is a VIBECODED project and welll i made it for myself and am sharing it here. It was a break from my sullen work and also from testing and debuuging my main project which i have to do manually , ScreenGuard, which well some people here must know atleast by now after my vigourous campaign everywhere about what this is...but nevertheless getting into this topic, I can atleast assusre u one thing, I will continue updating it atleast once every month if i find any bugs or any issues are opened in the repo.

So please feel free to use it, or even contribute. I will be adding the contibuting.md after a few hours, its been a looong day.

Thank you all for co-operating and Please donot tag it as AI slop because yes i myself am stating its vibecoded a lot eventhough i ask people not to do it...So if you really want the kde-ish wiggle, u can try it out, if you dont feel good about the vibecode then dont , completely upto you .

I built an open-source screen time tracker for Linux that actually enforces your limits

Hey, I'm the developer of ScreenGuard.

Most screen time trackers on Linux are dashboards — they show you the damage after the fact. I wanted something that actually stops you.

ScreenGuard records active application usage and lets you mark apps as productive or distracting. Give your game, social feed, or video site a daily budget — when it's spent, you get a desktop alert, and at 100% the app minimizes the window and shows a lockout screen instead of a suggestion.

Everything runs locally: no account, no telemetry, no cloud, zero network calls. All data stays in a SQLite database on your machine. The source is fully open (GPL-3.0), with native packages for Arch, Fedora, and Debian/Ubuntu.

Honest status: it currently supports X11 and GNOME Wayland — other compositors are in active development, and feedback at this stage genuinely shapes the roadmap.

I'd especially appreciate your take on the enforcement UX: do the nudges become annoying after a week, or do they actually change behavior?
