The average person now spends 5 to 6 hours a day on their phone โ and for most of us, that isn't going to change. Work, family, friends, news, everything lives in the same small screen. Our digital lives aren't optional. But your eyes weren't built for this, and digital eye strain is the price you pay. Negative effects on your eyes can begin within just one hour of continuous screen use. By the time you feel the ache, the strain is already deep โ and without proper rest, a portion of it carries over day after day. The science is clear: regular breaks are the only behavioural strategy that genuinely protects your vision over time. Everyone knows the 20-20-20 rule. Almost no one follows it. We forget, we ignore the timer, we tell ourselves just one more. Knowing isn't the problem. Doing is. HOW SCROLLESS WORKS Scrolless handles the hard part โ the remembering, the timing, the follow-through. You stay in charge of the rest. Our algorithm watches how you're actually using your phone and works out when your eyes genuinely need a rest. This isn't a 20-minute timer counting down in the background. Scrolless calculates real strain based on your real behaviour โ how long you've been on, how intensely you've been scrolling, the natural pauses you've already taken. When the science says your eyes need a reset, Scrolless steps in with a brief, guided rest session to help your eyes recover. And if you need to skip? Skip. Even the moment of being stopped breaks the scroll โ your eyes get to blink, your brain gets a pause, and Scrolless picks back up at the next interval. THE EYE STRAIN METER Eye strain builds quietly. You don't notice it until your head aches or your vision blurs โ and by then, you've been at it for hours. The Eye Strain Meter changes that. It shows your accumulated strain in real time, factoring in your total screen time, the rest sessions you've completed, and the ones you've skipped. For the first time, you can actually see what your eyes have been doing โ and watch the strain come down as you rest. It's the feedback loop your eyes have been missing. BUILT AROUND YOUR LIFE โข Track all your apps, or just the ones that wear your eyes out. We recommend tracking everything for full protection, but the choice is yours. โข Skip when you need to. Life doesn't pause for an eye break. Skipping is built in, no guilt attached โ and the interruption still gives your eyes a moment. โข Tips and insights as you go. After rest sessions, Scrolless shares small, science-backed tips on eye exercises, posture, and habits that keep your eyes well beyond the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your screen usage is your business.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scrolless at none against VisionBreak's shown. VisionBreak's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
