Breakin' Change Log

Improved how Breakin’ automatically pauses itself when running video conferencing software
Added logic to always ensure there’s a break reminder as I discovered there can be edge cases
Removed the override sleep function, since it was little used
Added logic to match the break reminder screen mask with the in-focus attached display, so you can end the break reminder with a single button click rather that clicking to get the window focus and then clicking the button

Added the ability to mute background audio during a break, so you can focus better
Replaced polling for Zoom or other VC apps running with an observer for faster pausing response
Added keyboard shortcuts to quit and access the preferences
