RestEase — Eye-Care & Break Reminders

Guided desk-wellness breaks: rest your eyes (20-20-20), stretch, hydrate, fix posture, stand & breathe. Smart, private, offline.

Most break reminders just flash a timer and leave you wondering what to actually do. RestEase is different: every break is a guided exercise that shows you exactly how to rest your eyes, loosen up, and reset — and it's smart enough to stay quiet when you step away or head into a meeting. 100% private and offline. No account, no network, no tracking. Everything stays on your computer. WHAT IT REMINDS YOU TO DO • Rest your eyes — the optometrist-backed 20-20-20 rule (every 20 min, look 20 ft away for 20 sec) • Stretch — rotating neck, shoulder, wrist and side stretches • Hydrate — gentle water nudges with a glasses-per-day counter • Fix posture — quick "sit tall" and chin-tuck resets • Stand & move — get the blood flowing with a short walk • Breathe — a calming box-breathing animation (inhale 4 · hold 4 · exhale 4 · hold 4) GUIDED BREAK SCREEN (the difference) When a break is due, RestEase opens a calm full-screen coach with a countdown ring and step-by-step instructions for that exercise — not just a number ticking down. Rotate exercises automatically so it never gets stale. SMART SCHEDULING THAT RESPECTS YOUR FLOW • Work-hours window — no reminders before or after your day • Auto-pause when idle — RestEase never nags an empty chair and resumes when you're back • Focus mode — silence breaks for a meeting with one tap • Snooze — 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 minutes • Strict mode — hide "Skip" until the break really ends STAY MOTIVATED A live dashboard (side panel) shows your next break, today's breaks and glasses, your current streak, and a 7-day chart. Quick controls live in the toolbar popup. MADE YOUR WAY • Presets: 20-20-20 Focus, Full Wellness, Pomodoro + Stretch, Hydration — or build your own • Per-reminder intervals and break lengths • Light / dark / system theme, soft chimes, keyboard shortcuts • Export & import your settings as a local backup PERMISSIONS, KEPT NARROW storage (your settings & stats), alarms (scheduling), notifications (the reminder), idle (auto-pause) and sidePanel (the dashboard).
