MacProtect Your Eyes with Timed Screen Breaks
Overview
Eye Timer is a Mac menu bar tool that helps reduce digital eye strain by prompting regular breaks. It follows the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, it reminds you to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Customize break durations, choose subtle notifications or sound alerts, and let it run silently in the background without disrupting your workflow. Ideal for professionals, students, or anyone spending long hours on their Mac, it prevents eye fatigue, dryness, and maintains focus. Setup is effortless—launch, adjust preferences if needed, and care for your eyes seamlessly.
