Long stretches in front of a screen make it easy to forget to pause. EyeRest brings the 20-20-20 rhythm into your work and study routine: look into the distance regularly and let your eyes reset. Start guided breaks with eye movements, natural blinking, and gentle neck and shoulder care. The midday tools clearly separate Midday Eye Care Reset from the new Midday Nap, which lets you close your eyes with a calm sound for 10 or 20 minutes. Choose sounds, reminders, break length, and a daily goal. Settings and statistics stay on your device. The free experience includes core reminders, guided routines, and selected sounds. Full Access adds more routines, themes, the complete soundscape library, 20-minute naps, unlimited naps, and three premium nap sounds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: WorkZen at 14.0 against EyeRest's 17.0. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
