Staring at screens all day leaves your eyes dry, sore and tired. Farsight turns the eye-doctor-recommended 20-20-20 rule into a habit you actually keep: every 20 minutes of screen time, look 20 feet (about 6 m) away for 20 seconds to relax your ciliary muscles and ease digital eye strain. And keeping it up isn't a chore, because a cat lives on your screen. The more punctually you take your breaks, the livelier and more affectionate it becomes; let your eyes slip and it waits for you, a little bored. CORE FEATURES (FREE) · 20-20-20 reminders — custom intervals, active hours and rest days · A hand-drawn cat that breathes, plays and naps, its mood shifting with your streak · Daily and weekly stats so your habit takes shape · Earn treats by resting on time, then adopt cats and unlock decorations in the Cattery · Streaks and milestone badges that make consistency rewarding FARSIGHT PRO (UPGRADE) · Seasonal window scenes — let your cat gaze out on autumn and winter · Apple Watch reminders — rest right from your wrist · 30-day statistics for the full picture · Every premium cat and decoration unlocked at once, no grinding · 7-day free trial, or buy once and keep it forever ABOUT EYE HEALTH 20-20-20 is widely recommended eye-care advice: looking into the distance relaxes the ciliary muscles that stay tense during close-up screen work. Farsight simply makes it something you want to do every day. Protect your eyes, one 20 minutes at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: USB Camera at none against Farsight's 1. Farsight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
