Something which would help me be "aware" in real life of finite ness of life. Like the computer break utils (TimeOut on Mac/ Stretchly etc) which can help disconnect from the screen in front of you, even for a bit of time, and force you outside of whatever you are currently engaged on in the screen.

There's stuff like https://www.rescuetime.com/ which both forces you to stop and makes you aware of what you're using the screen for.
Yes, I want to have something similar for non screen time as well. To start off, having something similar for mobile device would be good - I have not been able to find any app which can go full screen and block the screen for 15 sec, after each 10 mins or so on mobile.
