EnoughWork

Set a daily screen time limit. Get a fullscreen overlay when you've had enough.

EnoughWork is a daily limit enforcer — when you've been at the screen for 8 hours (or whatever you set), it covers all your monitors and tells you to stop. Simple.

Built with Tauri (Rust + webview). Not Electron.

Why this exists

Most screen time apps remind you to take breaks every X minutes. That's not the problem. The problem is looking up at 6 PM and realizing you've been at it for 10 hours straight.

EnoughWork answers one question: "Have I worked enough today?" When the answer is yes, it makes you stop — fullscreen overlay on every monitor, hard to ignore. You can snooze or dismiss it, but you have to make that choice consciously.

Philosophy

EnoughWork isn't meant to lock you down. It's a nudge to help you notice how long you've been at the screen, step away, and spend time on things that matter — rest, movement, family, hobbies. The overlay is easy to dismiss because the goal is awareness, not restriction. Better screen habits lead to better wellbeing.

Features

• A daily limit you'll actually notice — set your hours (default: 8h); when you hit it, a fullscreen overlay covers every monitor and stays on top until you deal with it
• Take real breaks — start a break with a countdown ring, a sensible duration suggested from how long you've been working, and extend/resume controls
• Schedule the things you keep forgetting — set a reminder or a timed break for "12:30 lunch" or "in 2h", optionally repeating on weekdays
• Your call to keep going or stop — snooze in 30-minute steps, or stop for today and resume tomorrow
• Quiet mode for meetings — swap the fullscreen overlay for a small popup when a wall of windows would be rude
• Resets when your day does — daily reset at a time you choose (default midnight), so night-shift hours count the right way

It also stays out of your way: runs from the system tray, starts on boot, keeps one instance, survives restarts, auto-updates, and drops to a gentle animation when you're in a game or fullscreen app.

Tech stack

• Tauri (Rust backend + webview frontend)
• Vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript (no framework)
• Plugins: autostart, single-instance, store, tray-icon, updater

Getting started

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Build for production

Requires signing keys for auto-update. Copy .env.example to .env and set the password:

TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD=your_password

The key file should be at keys/enoughwork.key (generate with pnpm signer).

pnpm build

Output binaries will be in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.

Releasing

Uses cargo-release to bump versions in one step.

pnpm release:patch   # 0.1.0 → 0.2.0
pnpm release:minor   # 0.1.0 → 1.0.0
pnpm release:major   # 1.0.0 → 2.0.0

This will:

• Bump version in Cargo.toml, package.json, and tauri.conf.json
• Replace [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG.md with the version and date, and add a fresh [Unreleased] section
• Commit, tag (v0.2.0), and create a GitHub release via the publish workflow
