I have Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I would love to install a sort of screensaver or timer in order to impose periods of relax for my eyes. It should show a screensaver every period of time for 10 minutes.

For instance, if I start the system at 9:00, the app should impose a screensaver at 9:50 (every 50 minutes) and keep it for 10 minutes. Then rinse and repeat the routine at 10:50 etc. You get the idea. Is there any app to accomplish this task? I checked several "screensavers" but they are based on the concept of inactivity and lack this cyclic functionality. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

You could write your own script that does that. Alternatively, you could use a tool like "Pomodoro" that is designed to remind you to take short breaks after a preset amount of time.
