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.

Your day: 9 a.m. in the chair, 6 p.m. still in the chair. Shoulders tight, eyes dry, and that glass of water on your desk โ€” untouched since morning. WorkZen is the desk-health companion that actually looks after you, so you don't have to remember: STAND UP โ€” gentle reminders to get up and move, tuned to your work rhythm. Manual or auto. DRINK WATER โ€” log your daily intake with one tap. Reminders when you've forgotten your glass. REST YOUR EYES โ€” 20-20-20, blinking, and guided eye breaks for screen-heavy days. STRETCH โ€” short desk routines for tight necks, shoulders and backs, with step-by-step voice guidance. NAP โ€” a smart break timer that wakes you refreshed, not groggy. Want more than a timer? WorkZen's wellness clock walks you through the body's natural two-hour energy cycles โ€” an ancient system for better sleep, focus and digestion, explained with modern science, not mysticism.
