Fresh Eyes
Fresh Eyes is a super lightweight app designed to help prevent computer vision syndrome by adhering to the 20-20-20 rule recommended by eye care professionals: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away.
Running in the background with minimal system resource usage, Fresh Eyes sends regular reminders and displays a fullscreen countdown during breaks, playing a discrete sound when the break is over.
With a simple, minimalist design, it integrates seamlessly into your menu bar, offering keyboard shortcuts to postpone or disable breaks as needed.
The status bar icon turns red if you miss several breaks, ensuring you stay on track. Fresh Eyes is a one-time purchase with no subscriptions or ads, providing a hassle-free experience.
By encouraging you to regularly look away from your screen, it helps reduce eye strain, prevent dry eyes, and combat digital fatigue. It's designed for simplicity and effectiveness, promoting healthier screen habits without disrupting your productivity, making it an essential tool for anyone who spends long hours at their Mac.
