Protect your eyes while you work. Blink Tracker monitors your blink rate in real time using on-device vision and reminds you to blink. 100% private. Zero data collected.
Blink Tracker - Prevent Dry Eyes monitors your blink rate in real time and sends gentle reminders when you forget to blink. Helping you prevent dry eyes, eye strain, and headaches caused by screen time.
THE PROBLEM
Research shows that when focused on a screen, your blink rate drops from 15–20 blinks per minute to as low as 3–4. This leads to:
• Dry, irritated eyes
• Eye strain and fatigue
• Headaches
• Long-term corneal damage
Most people don't notice it happening, until it's too late.
HOW BLINK TRACKER HELPS
Blink Tracker sits quietly in your menu bar and uses your Mac's camera with Apple's Vision framework to detect blinks in real time. When you haven't blinked for a configurable duration, it sends a gentle notification, just enough to nudge you back to healthy blinking.
No overlays. No pop-ups blocking your work. Just a subtle notification when you need it.
