๐ Eye Strain Break Timer
WorkingBreaks completed: 0
20:00
A break timer based on the eye-doctor-recommended "20-20-20 rule": every 20 minutes of screen work, look at something 20 feet (about 6m) away for 20 seconds. A chime plays when your work session ends, and the timer automatically resumes work after the break. Helpful for preventing eye strain from long hours at a computer or phone.
How to use
- Set your work duration (default 20 minutes).
- Press "Start" to begin the timer.
- When the work session ends, a chime plays and the timer switches to a 20-second break โ look away from the screen at something far away and relax.
