EyeBuddy - Protect Your Eyes

Your eyes weren't made to stare at a screen all day. EyeBuddy reminds you to look away at the right moment, and stays out of your way the rest of the time.

It follows the 20-20-20 rule recommended by eye care professionals: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds. A few seconds of rest, many times a day, eases eye strain, dryness and screen headaches.

Breaks That Respect Your Work
• Never interrupts a call: EyeBuddy recognizes video calls and screen sharing in any app or browser, so a break never covers your screen while others are watching.
• Waits for the right moment: if you're typing, the break starts as soon as you pause.
• Follows your Focus: choose for each macOS Focus whether breaks run as usual, only notify you or stay paused.
• Respects the apps you choose, and resets when you step away from your Mac.

Your Day at a Glance
• A clean menu bar panel shows your countdown and lets you rest, skip, pause or stop in one click.

See Your Habits Improve
• A daily Eye Score shows how well you rested.
• Build a streak of breaks in a row and follow your progress on a monthly calendar.

Made for Your Routine
• Set your own interval and break length.
• Add a longer break every few breaks, or snooze one for 10 or 30 minutes.
• Choose your sounds, start at login and forget about it.

More Than a Blue Light Filter
Blue light filters change the color of your screen, but they don't address what really tires your eyes: focusing up close for hours. EyeBuddy gives your eyes the regular rest they need.

Private and Lightweight
No account and no tracking. EyeBuddy doesn't connect to the internet, and your statistics stay on your Mac. It only checks whether your camera or microphone is in use; it never turns them on. And it uses barely any energy, even running all day.

Small breaks, many times a day. Download EyeBuddy and give your eyes the care they deserve.
