## What is Eye Rest & Break Reminder?

Your eyes weren't built for 8 hours of screens. Eye Rest sends you a gentle nudge at your own pace, then turns the break itself into something you'll actually do: flip your phone face down, look somewhere far away, and let a soft haptic pulse count the seconds for you.

No willpower required. No guilt. Just a rhythm your eyes can keep.  

HOW IT WORKS Pick your screen hours, your days, and how often you want a nudge, from every 20 minutes to every 2 hours. When a reminder lands, flip your phone face down. The timer only runs while the phone stays flipped, so the break is real. A double buzz tells you when you're done.

WHY FLIPPING WORKS A countdown you watch is just more screen time. A phone lying face down can't be scrolled. Your eyes get the one thing they need: distance.

BUILT ON THE 20-20-20 RULE Optometrists recommend looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes of screen work. Eye Rest turns that advice into a habit: 10, 20, or 30 second breaks, on a schedule shaped around your real day.

A HABIT THAT FORGIVES Your daily target is set from your hours and pace, sized for a normal day with meetings and lunch, not a perfect one. Days you switch off never break your streak. Miss a day? The calendar shows it and moves on.

MAKE IT A GAME Earn XP for every break. Level up from Fresh Eyes to Visionary. Unlock 24 achievements across bronze, silver, and gold, from your first flip to a perfect month.

EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE Next break countdown, breaks today, day streak, screen-free time, and a monthly calendar of your rhythm.
