AntiProcrastinator

Windows only, cross-platform support WIP

A Python script that yells at you for doing things you shouldn't be. Yes, I was procrastinating when I made this.

Features:

• Immediately yells at you on launch
• Monitors the focused window and yells at you if you're procrastinating
  • Matches blacklisted strings in the window name
• Pauses any media you're playing to yell at you
• Regularly reminds you how close your deadline is
• Customisable insults
• Realtime config changes (no need to restart the program)
• Completely customisable actions (e.g. play a sound, print to console, etc.)
  • Extending the project and adding your own actions is very simple by simply extending action.Action.
  • You can make actions from emailing someone to shutting down your computer.
• Break feature with customisable duration

Usage:

• Download the latest release and run once.

• Run configurator.exe to edit the config.

• Run AntiProcrastinator.exe!

  • Available actions:

    • Sleep
    • Say
    • Exit
    • Playsound
    • Closewindow
    • Notify

  • Wildcards:

    • {deadline} -> get_deadline()
    • {insult} -> get_insult()
    • {timer_diff} -> get_timer_diff_in_text()
    • {window} -> window

• (recommended but optional) Add to Task Scheduler or equivalent (put the executable in shell:common startup in Windows Explorer) to run on startup

This runs the script on startup and in the background. Enable this if you use Task Scheduler else TTS will not work:

You can run the Python script from cloning or the executable from releases, but make sure to have config.json in the same directory.

Note: when using actions.PlaySound, remember to add the sound files to AntiProcrastinator.spec if using Pyinstaller.
