EyePause — Eye Break Reminder

Schedule-aware eye break reminders for screen workers. Prompts short breaks during work hours to reduce digital eye strain.

EyePause reminds you to take short eye breaks — exactly when you need them, and only during your actual work hours. Why EyePause? Most reminder tools fire at the wrong time, are easy to dismiss, or let you snooze indefinitely. EyePause is built around a stricter, more effective model: when a break is due, you either take it or consciously skip it. No snooze. No postponement. Just a clear, calm prompt — and then back to work. How it works: Configure your work schedule — which days and hours reminders are allowed to run. Pick a break interval: every 20, 25, 30, or 40 minutes. When the interval elapses, EyePause shows a guided eye-break exercise. Mark it Done or Skip — and the next interval starts fresh. Key features: Schedule-aware reminders — runs only on your configured work days and within your set work hours Guided eye-break exercises — simple, desk-friendly exercises displayed at each break Two-action model — Done or Skip. No snooze, no delay loops Pause and resume — temporarily stop reminders without losing your settings Daily progress tracking — see completed and skipped breaks against your daily goal Fair inactivity handling — time away from the screen (lunch, meetings, system sleep) is never counted as a missed break Desktop notifications — optional system-level notification when a break is due 100% local — no account, no cloud sync, no data sent anywhere
