Mac Application That Monitors Keyboard Use and Fading Screen if Inactive

Overview: This tool monitors your keyboard activity and if you go a set period of time without typing it will fade your screen and/or play a sound.. To begin, a user selects an amount of seconds, then, hits start. If they fail to type using any keys on the keyboard for the amount of time selected, the program will cause the screen to begin dimming. Once the user enters another key, the screen will automatically convert back to a regular (non-dimmed) screen, and the countdown will begin again. This will continue until the user closes the program. The purpose of the tool is designed for writers. Instead of stalling and not typing anything on the screen, the dimming effect will alert them to continue writing. The goal should be to constantly keep using the keyboard, that way the screen never dims. A constant dimming reminder alerts the user to keep pushing forward with their composition. Features: - No Internet access required after installation User Interface: It should have an input field that allows numbers only to be entered. Three digits maximum. So 1-999 should be accepted. Note: Once they’ve entered a number and hit the Start button, it should save that number by default on the next use. There should be a checkmark box option that says Play Sound. When it’s checkmarked, it will play a brief error sound. If you have a sound available that's great, otherwise I can find one. At the bottom will be a green start button. Once it’s clicked, the start button will turn into a red Stop button. The program will have an internal timer (not viewable) to count seconds until the keyboard is used. Once any key is entered, the timer resets back to 0. If the clock counts up to the number they’ve entered, without ever getting reset back to 0 from typing, the fading effect will occur, and the sound option if they’ve checkmarked it will activate. The fading will continue until they’ve entered any key on their keyboard. When this happens, the screen goes back to regular non-fade mode, the clock is adjusted back to 0, and the process is repeated over again. Note: It shouldn’t matter what program is being run, whether it’s a browser, word document, etc. The fading effect should happen regardless when the time is reached. To be awarded the project, I'd love to see a demo of some of the functionality. Perhaps you can create the program with just a start button that fades the screen. That way I'll know you'll be able to handle the rest of the project. I have a demo of a windows version if you'd like to see it.
