Thing shows a notification every 20 minutes so you can look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds and not get a headache.
Sure. There aren't any built-in options, but the entire repo's like 25 lines long.* It's pretty straightforward.

Yes, it falls under Script Editor in the Notifications pane (macOS Monterey). Could have its own application identifier, but then it wouldn't be very (very) simple.
I mean, I see it more as an off-brand Aspirin. This repo isn't going on my next resume, but I hope it'll keep me from getting headaches so often. If you stare at your Mac as much as I stare at mine, then maybe it'll help you out too.
* As of writing, this README is a couple hundred bytes heavier than the entire rest of the repo. So there you go.
