### 5/5 — Lovely

*2026-09-01*

Main app a bit pricey but god it’s so polished and delightful. 
Especially appreciate the blink and posture reminders. 
A suggestion: can we sync between two Macs too? Like make one Mac behave like an iOS device, in sync with the main Mac app?
Also, watching videos on Mac is treated as idle if you don’t move your mouse or type. I hope it can detect playback and ask me to take a break too.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-06-22*

I have this application on my desktop computer and it makes me feel like my computer cares about me lol. Glad it’s a one-time purchase in a sea of predatory subscriptions, also

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-04-10*

Useful and very intuitive. I love how responsive the developer is to use your feedback and any issues.

### 1/5 — not a useful app

*2026-03-16*

who really needs mirror or Mac behavior on iPhone, if it was an individual app doing what it does on Mac that would have been great not this

### 1/5 — Nul

*2026-02-21*

On est obliger d’avoir un mac sinon on peut pas utiliser

**Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion. LookAway Mirror, as mentioned in the description, is a companion app to the macOS app.

### 5/5 — Nice add on but

*2025-08-01*

I love look away on my Mac and this app is a great add on. But I find not that useful that you have to have the app open to see the break timer. It would be phenomenal, if there was a widget showing the timer or something like the Dynamic Island reminder from the app one sec. 
I would pay for those features, hands down.

**Developer response:** Hi Ellias, thanks for the review! Yes - currently the mirror app is limited but there are very exciting updates planned for the future, including widgets and live activities support!
