LookAway is a macOS app designed to help reduce eye strain by prompting users to take regular breaks after prolonged screen use, a practice recommended by many eye doctors for maintaining eye health.
Every set interval, LookAway puts your Mac in a break mode, blurring all your screens and displaying a timeout counter. This essentially forces you to rest your eyes, reducing the chance of strain from continuous screen exposure.
The breaks last for 30 seconds by default, but you have the flexibility to customize this duration according to your preferences.
- Regular eye breaks: Reminders tell you when to take breaks, helping you stay focused and protect your eyes
- Pre-Break Alert: A gentle heads-up before your break lets you wrap up tasks and ensures you're never caught off guard
- At your fingertips: A handy menu bar icon offers instant access to settings, break controls, and status updates
- Fully customizable: Modify break intervals, durations, or choose to postpone - LookAway adjusts to fit your workflow perfectly
- Intelligent Pausing: LookAway smartly pauses during meetings, calls, or when you're idle. It only works when you do
- Delightful Design: With a user-friendly interface and elegant visuals, LookAway is crafted for a smooth and enjoyable experience
