I'm looking for a graphical or command line program that provides me with the following workflow:
- Start a 25min session
- After 25min screen is automatically locked for 5min (or maybe just turned black?)
- Now I'm helped to take a break because I cannot do anything in front of the computer other than looking at a black or locked screen 🙂
- After 5min, the screen automatically returns and I can continue work
Is there a program that does exactly this?

EDIT
An integrated & modernized version for Ubuntu Budgie is now available:
This applet will most likely be available by default in Ubuntu Budgie 19.04, but can now be achieved here as an experimental one.
