LookAway 1.10 update is out with Wellness Reminders, Deep Focus features and more

LookAway 1.10 has been released, featuring a major rewrite of its core for improved performance, making it more efficient and stable. The update introduces Wellness Reminders, which include posture and blink reminders through subtle animations. A new Deep Focus Apps feature allows users to add specific applications to a list, enabling LookAway to pause reminders automatically during presentations or fullscreen gaming.

The update also includes automatic detection of fullscreen games, postponing breaks while typing, and customizable menu bar icon settings for a cleaner interface. Users can now adjust the delay between high-engagement activities and break reminders, as well as the duration of notifications. The application now features smarter video playback detection, only triggering when the video-playing app is active, allowing music video playback without interruptions.

Additionally, the settings and onboarding process have been redesigned for enhanced usability and user experience.
