               You can easily understand the setting process once you see it. Once you fix your break , click the black button labelled " Request permission and test notification" 

        > . Now a timer appears , showing you the time till your next break. You may disable sound notifications by clicking the volume icon next to the timer. Once you see notification click start break . Now your screen will go dark for the duration of the break. You should look at a point 20 feet away, alternatively, you may click start eyes Gymnastics on your screen and the apps show you some eye exercises.
