First, I need to give credit and congratulate the programmer of flowkeeper.

His contribution was considerable and I really appreciate his hard work.

As the internet can be very addictive, we need the following feature, if it is possible.

To Log off screen, or to freeze the screen, every time a pomadoro is completed, for the duration of the break.

A forced way to take a pomodoro brake, may sometimes, may be the only way to force ourselves to take that break away from the computer.

Thanks again for your valuable work.

Here is an old version of advance pomodoro, in which freeze screen is used at the completion of each pomodoro. I believe, it is a significant, necessity feature because, it will force the user to actually take the pomodoro break.

Hello Stelios! First of all -- thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you found Flowkeeper useful. And I'm sorry I didn't notice your first message, this was due to GitHub spamming me with notifications lately...

Your idea makes sense, and certainly deserves being implemented. It is conceptually similar to #67, but goes one step further. I will implement it in one of the upcoming versions.

As for now, as a workaround you can use the Integrations feature. Go to Settings > Integration > FileEventSource.AfterPomodoroRestStart, and paste this as Command: rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation (assuming you are on Windows). I don't have a Windows machine at home, so can't test it on Sunday, but it should work. Let me know if you tried it :)

Thanks for the great suggestion!

Regards,
Constantine
