Problem description

I love this app, but notice that I have gotten too used to it, which often results in me ignoring it, often even without noticing. I sometimes just absentmindedly click it away. I don't want to use Strict Mode because sometimes I do have an important reason to delay the break (such as being in a videocall, or just about to finish something).

Possible solution

What I believe could help is randomized colors. In settings, instead of choosing a specific color, one could choose "random". I believe this would trigger the brain more, having more chance to avoid any automated action (like clicking it away).

Alternative solutions

Another option is to hide the "Postpone / Skip break" link for just 2 seconds. It prevents one from hiding it as an 'automated action', but still allows one to postpone it if really needed. A 2 second delay could make me reconsider whether I really do want to postpone/skip now.

Additional information

I started using Stretchly about half a year ago.
