I did something similar with a Telegram bot in order to remind myself to look away from the screen, get up and stretch for a bit. However I started to ignore it in favor of "more pressing" tasks and now the chime has become just a faint signal somewhere on the outer edge of my awareness, too easily forgotten about. You need to condition yourself to not ignore it or it will lose its effectiveness.

It probably depends on what your goal is. To get up and stretch every n minutes, a more forceful approach could work better.

But a just an hourly subtle sound can *just remind you that time passes.
