Eye Monitor automatically detects your keyboard and mouse usage to determine whether you are using computer. If you continuously using for more than the maximum time you have set, you will receive a notification or full screen reminder.
Liked this product, small utility, but so much sense, good luck with it!
I think it would be cool to add extra statistics like tracking the most consuming energy app. For example where user was the most active on base of mouse/keyboard stats, but it's only idea :)
Why I make Eye Monitor?
I used to consistently work on my MacBook for long hours and not take respite away from work. At the end of the day, my back was killing me and my eyes were dry.
So I thought I should have a reminder to remind me of taking a break. But I am a lazy guy. I don't like manually setting a timer.
For example, if my colleagues come to my seat and have a chat with me, or I leave my seat to grab a drink, I always forget to pause the timer and forget to start a timer when I come back to work.
I want something more automated.
What is Eye Monitor?
Eye Monitor is a Mac app that automatically monitor your fatigue according to your behaviors and remind you to take a break when you continuously work for too long.
How does Eye Monitor work?
Eye Monitor automatically detects your keyboard and mouse usage to determine whether you are using computer. If you continuously using for more than the maximum time you have set, you will receive a notification or full screen reminder.
Every time you don't use keyboard or mouse for a minute, your fatigue value will decrease. So you just need to leave your computer, and when you come back you will see your fatigue value decrease.

- Full screen reminder

Tips
Eye Monitor may not so accurate according to your type of work. You can adjust the fatigue threshold accordingly. For example, if you find that the fatigue is difficult to raise to the threshold value you have set and you seldomly receive a notification, you can reduce the threshold a little bit.
