Title: Study Timer
Description: This is a simple GUI based timer that helps you study by keeping you on task and helping you get a mental rest every so often
Author: I.S.

NOTE: This application is only Windows compatible since it uses Powershell scripts.

This mini-project was made for the Apple Hacks hackathon. The reason I chose a timer specifically is because sometimes I forget to take breaks while studying or working, or sometimes I take too long of breaks, this helps with that.

I actually learned quite a lot from this project, this is my first time making a GUI application with Python, despite being a 3rd year CS student... actually now that I think about it this is the first time I've made a GUI application since I got into my uni... Welp at least I have some experience now! Also one thing I'm really unsatisfied with is I couldn't figure out is how to make popups actually popup over fullscreen application, so I had to change my approach to spamming the user with audio instead of popups malware style lol. Although, I'm kinda hyped that I figured out how to kill the processes correctly with Powershell scripts, I find that super cool. Customtkinter was "fun" to work with. Tbh I never really figured out how to make a coherant GUI with it, just kinda slapped things together and called it a day. However, like I said before, first time making a GUI application so it was an experience and I had a lot of fun coding it. 

Side note: If I ever revisit this program first thing I'm doing is breaking this down into modules. Like this is an unreadable mess, but since I was just learning a lot of the tools I was using I did not really have a solid picture of what I was going to make so it made it kinda difficult to effectively partition it on the spot.

Features:
    - Configurable timer
        - Can be paused/unpaused and stopped
        - Accepts values between 1-60 (in minutes)
        - Break time must be strictly less than study time
        - If in study time timer can be hidden
    - Configurable blacklist
        - Process must be open when adding to blacklist
    - Blacklist usage prevention
        - During study time if a blacklisted application is open it will pause the timer and play a notification message every 5 seconds until the application is closed
        - Extremist mode
            - Extremist mode runs Powershell scripts to kill the blacklisted process
            - At the end of break time you have 10 seconds before all blacklisted processes are killed
