LookAway is designed keeping the Mac's design language in mind so it integrates seamlessly with the OS
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 Ophthalmologists for maintaining eye health.
Every set interval, LookAway puts your Mac in a rest 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.
No worries! LookAway sends a gentle reminder a minute before the break starts, allowing you to delay the break by 1 or 5 minutes if you're occupied.
Absolutely! Through the menu bar app, you can either pause the timer or choose to skip a break entirely.
LookAway is smart! It detects idle time and automatically pauses the timer. It restarts the timer when you're back, ensuring you don't miss out on essential breaks.
LookAway knows when you're in a call or meeting and stops for a while, so you're not interrupted. After your call or meeting ends, it starts back up, helping you take breaks and protect your eyes all day.
