  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • AutoKey

    AutoKey, a desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.

  • For Linux have a look at AutoKey.

  • WorkraveQt

    Modern reimplementation of Workrave in Qt. Optimized to look out for you where you don't.

  • Personally I think the most important thing is missing: take frequent breaks. I reimplemented the excellent Workrave tool in Qt https://github.com/mrexodia/WorkraveQt. If I use it consistently (30 seconds every 15 minutes, 10 minutes every 50 minutes) everything goes great. As soon as I start ignoring the breaks, I get shoulder/hand/back pain. An additional benefit is that you can focus better (only check your phone during breaks) and it’s easier to stay hydrated.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
