EyeRest vs JoyEye悦眼

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.

JoyEye is a screen-time rhythm app built around the 20-20-20 rule: about every 20 minutes of focused screen use, it reminds you to look into the distance for at least 20 seconds, so long sessions include regular breaks. KEY FEATURES • Focus and break timer: defaults follow 20-20-20. Both durations are customizable. • On-time reminders: local notifications for the switch between focus and rest, so breaks are harder to forget. • Break experience: a full-screen guide during breaks. Optionally grant Screen Time access so the system can help you stay with the break. • State restore: if the app quits unexpectedly, it tries to resume the timer where you left off. MICRO-MINDFULNESS — A BREAK YOU CAN FEEL A break is more than a countdown. It is a short pause for your eyes and your mind. When a break starts, JoyEye shows a short mindfulness prompt at random — a small, doable action that gently moves your attention from the screen to the distance and your body: • Breathe and look away: take three slow breaths, then rest your gaze on the clearest point in the distance. • Relax your eyes: blink gently, trace a figure-eight, and give your eyes a moment to re-wet. • Reset your neck and shoulders: shrug and release, tuck your chin slightly, roll your shoulders halfway, and let the typing tension go. • Come back to now: feel your feet, count the colors in the distance, and let these few seconds be enough. The prompt appears on the timer screen and on the iOS break overlay, and it stays the same for that break — less empty waiting, and an easier break to actually take. No lectures, no long essays. Each line is a small action you can finish in under a minute. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES (OPTIONAL) Sign in and turn on cloud sync to share timer state and settings across devices. If your phone is locked while your computer is still in use, JoyEye tries to keep the same eye-care rhythm, in a way you can understand. AWAY DETECTION Lock-screen away detection: after a long lock, unlocking can start a fresh focus rhythm, so the timer does not keep running after you have already stepped away. ACCOUNT AND PRIVACY • Core timing works without an account • Cloud sync and sign-in are optional • Each device can choose whether it joins cloud sync WHO IT’S FOR • People who sit at a screen all day • Students and exam prep users who want a gentle reminder, not constant interruption • Anyone who wants a concrete guide during a break, not just a countdown • People who work on both a phone and a computer and want the same eye-care rhythm on both JoyEye is not a medical app and does not replace professional eye care.
