LookAway 1.13 adds Apple Calendar sync, smarter break reminders, and redesigned settings
LookAway 1.13 introduces a significant upgrade by adding Apple Calendar integration. Users can now choose which calendars the app monitors, enabling automatic pausing during meetings, events, or personal focus blocks. This highly requested feature helps ensure that reminders do not interrupt critical times, keeping workflow seamless.
Following this integration, several core aspects of the user interface have also been refined. The settings page now features a clearer, more organized layout, making customization easier for daily users. Notifications and gentle nudges benefit from smoother animations and have eliminated previous glitches, streamlining the break reminder experience.
Additionally, LookAway 1.13 introduces new gentle reminders. These alerts help users become more aware of extended screen time, encouraging better management of work sessions. The app also automates break detection, learning individual work patterns to determine optimal pause and reset times. It identifies natural breaks, deciding when to resume or reset timers based on actual activity, reducing manual adjustments.
These updates are complemented by various minor enhancements designed to further optimize performance in this release.
