Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
Can you please add some information about when are Timer state in SafeEyes are reset.

A way to reset safe-eyes timer state, so it starts from zero.

Click on Take a break now --> Short break, and (optionally) skip the break to reset the count.

There are two types of breaks Long breaks and short breaks. I was using pomodoro methid using safeeyes, so to reset whole pomodoro, do i do Take a break now --> Long break and skip ?

[archisman-panigrahi]

Yes, that should work. If that somehow does not work, please reopen the issue.

@archisman-panigrahi do you know what 7:26 AM means in this line Next break at 6:36 AM/7:26AM

The next short break/long break timings

[KAGEYAM4]

What timer model is followed by SafeEyes? I am trying to recreate pomodoro but it's not working. Here's an example ->

1. 25 min task, 5 min break
2. 25 min task, 5 min break
3. 25 min task, 5 min break
4. 25 min task, 30 min break

So i used this settings ->

Note it is saying that Long break interval to be multiple of Short break interval. If i follow this, then my 4th timer is 15 min task and if i don't follow this then my 4th timer is 5 min task

Edit, in the image above i have inputted 115 but when i re-open the setting page it gets changed to 120

@deltragon How does safeeyes deal with it in cases like this when the long break's duration is longer than the short break's gap?

[deltragon]

Huh, I have no idea.
Admittedly, I started testing BreakQueue in #641 to find out exactly how cases like this work (although there only the interval comes into play as far as i can tell, not duration).
I will look into that, and add it as a test if i can.

@KAGEYAM4:
I've managed to add a test in #641 for your case.

To explain the model a little, the long_break_interval in SafeEyes is not the best UX.
Internally, it just calculates X = long_break_interval / short_break_interval, and then ensures that every Xth break is a long break.
This is also where the "Long break interval must be a multiple of short break interval" message comes from.
So in theory, it may be easier to let the user just put in one break_interval, and an integer X for "Each Xth break must be a long break".
Additionally, the break times themselves are not counted at all - this also makes the long_break_interval variable less accurate (noticeably so at this scale).

In your case, the break_interval would be 25min, and X would be 4 - so the long_break_interval must be 100.

Then, SafeEyes will (mostly) follow the model you put out - 25min task, 5min break, 25min task, 5min break, 25min task, 5min break, 25min task, 30min break, 25min task, 5min break, and so on.

I hope this makes sense.
