Your eyes run a marathon every day. Give them a workout instead. Refocus is an eye workout app that actually sees you exercise. Using the TrueDepth camera, it follows your gaze, blinks and focus in real time — and counts a rep only when you really do it. No more staring at a GIF wondering if you're doing it right. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a session — about 3 minutes 2. Follow the voice: look up, shift focus, blink, hold 3. Refocus watches your eyes and counts every rep 4. Finish with an accuracy score and keep your streak alive WHAT'S INSIDE • Guided eye workouts with voice cues, so you don't have to stare at the screen — that's the point • Real verification: reps count only when your eyes actually move • Per-session calibration that adapts to you, your posture and your lighting • Accuracy score after every workout • Streaks, trends and stats that make the habit stick • Smart reminders that fit around your day • A quick 1-minute blink set for days when 3 minutes is too many • Progression: workouts level up as your accuracy grows WHY IT FEELS GOOD Hours of screen time make your eyes work overtime — fewer blinks, locked focus, that heavy end-of-day feeling. Short guided breaks help relax tired eyes, refresh dry ones and ease screen strain. Refocus turns those breaks into a habit you can actually keep, because it notices when you skip. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your iPhone. Face tracking runs entirely on-device, no video is ever recorded or uploaded, and there's no account, no ads and no analytics. Your eyes are your business. GOOD TO KNOW • Sessions take about 3 minutes • Refocus supports comfort and healthy screen habits. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Give your eyes a break. They've earned it.
