EyeRest – 20-20-20 Eye Rule

Protect your eyes with the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

👁️ Save Your Eyes With Just 20 Seconds EyeRest is a beautifully designed browser extension that helps you follow the doctor-recommended 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. If you spend hours staring at a screen every day, your eyes are silently suffering. Digital eye strain causes headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision, and long-term damage. The 20-20-20 rule is the simplest scientifically-proven way to prevent it — and EyeRest makes it effortless. ✨ KEY FEATURES ✅ Beautiful Animated Breaks A stunning full-screen overlay guides you through 5 micro-exercises: close your eyes, move your eyes, look 20 feet away — with smooth animations and a calming gradient background. ✅ Smart Reminders That Don't Annoy Choose intervals of 10, 20, 30, or 45 minutes. EyeRest only reminds you during your active work hours — no interruptions during lunch breaks or weekends. ✅ Track Your Progress See your daily breaks, streak days, and total eye-rest minutes. Build a healthy habit with visual stats and a streak counter that motivates you to keep going. ✅ Dark Mode A built-in dark theme that's easy on your eyes (of course!). ✅ Soothing Sound Alerts Gentle 528 Hz chimes that feel calming, not jarring. Optional — turn them off any time. ✅ One-Tap Control Quick popup with on/off toggle, instant "Take Break Now" button, and all stats at a glance. ✅ Customizable Schedule Set your active hours and active days so EyeRest only works when YOU work. 🔒 100% PRIVATE • No accounts.

Looking at distant objects relaxes the ciliary muscles in your eyes that constantly contract when focusing on close-up screens. Just 20 seconds is enough to reset. 🎨 WHY EYEREST IS DIFFERENT Most eye-rest extensions are ugly or annoying.
