Undistractor is a desktop notification application designed to keep users focused during crucial study sessions or exam preparations by delivering timely reminders. It sends an initial motivational notification alerting users about an upcoming exam, urging them to study, followed by a follow-up notification if the user hasn’t taken action. The system operates in a loop, sending notifications at regular intervals to ensure continuous awareness and motivation. Utilizing the plyer library for notifications and Python’s time and threading modules for scheduling, Undistractor features customizable alerts with user-defined icons to enhance engagement and effectiveness. Ideal for students and professionals needing structured reminders to minimize distractions and boost productivity, this tool helps users stay on track and achieve their goals.
