EyePause - 20-20-20 Eye Care Reminder
EyePause is a smart macOS menu bar app that helps users who work on computers for long periods develop good habits of regular breaks.
Based on the scientific 20-20-20 eye care rule: every 20 minutes of work, look at an object 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds to effectively relieve eye fatigue.
Key Features:
- Smart Break Reminders: Automatically calculates next break time for a scientifically balanced work rhythm
- Fullscreen Break Mode: Immersive break interface covering all displays
- Idle Detection: Automatically pauses timing when user leaves, avoiding unnecessary interruptions

- Unobtrusive Operation: Lives in the menu bar without disrupting your workflow
Perfect For:

Scientific Basis:
The 20-20-20 rule is an eye care method recommended by ophthalmologists. By regularly looking into the distance, it relaxes the ciliary muscles and prevents and relieves digital eye fatigue (Computer Vision Syndrome).
