Name: LookAway
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)

LookAway is a native macOS app which puts your mac in rest mode at regular intervals to help you rest your eyes. It helps in reducing digital eye strain and dry eyes due to prolonged screen use. It's gentle, smart, and fully customizable.

As someone who struggles with focus and spends long hours behind the screen, this app is exactly what I needed. The smart break reminders help reduce eye strain and remind me to stay mindful of my posture. I love how customizable everything is, from Pomodoro-style work sessions to long break intervals, and even automated actions with AppleScript. The app is gentle yet effective, never intrusive, and adapts beautifully to different tasks like meetings, video playback, or deep focus work. It’s clear that LookAway was designed with real productivity and wellness in mind. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to build healthier screen habits without killing their workflow.

Thank you for the review, Daniel!

With the custom timer, I'm able to interval the breaks as per my needs. Really been helpful since I often get too absorbed in work
