Your eyes aren't made for screens. EyeBuddy helps prevent digital eye strain with gentle reminders using the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break, and look at something 6 metres away. Running quietly in your Mac’s menu bar, EyeBuddy reminds you to rest your eyes without disrupting your workflow. Trusted by eye care experts, it's designed to fit smoothly into your routine. More Effective Than a Blue Light Filter Blue light filters change screen colours but don't tackle the root of screen fatigue: eye muscle strain from constant focus. EyeBuddy actively relaxes your eyes, eases headaches, prevents dryness, and helps you stay productive with the 20-20-20 rule. Key Features • Smart Reminders Detects intense tasks like video calls or gaming and avoids disturbing them. • Idle Detection Pauses your break timer if you step away from your Mac. • Menu Bar Control Easily manage your timer from the macOS menu bar. • Fully Customisable Adjust break intervals and settings to suit your lifestyle. • Based on the 20-20-20 Rule Scientifically supported to reduce fatigue and screen-related discomfort. • Boosts Long-Term Productivity Short, regular breaks enhance focus, reduce burnout, and support healthier habits. • Auto Launch Begins with your Mac and runs in the background — no setup needed. Why EyeBuddy? A small habit can make a big difference. Whether you’re coding, designing, gaming, studying, or working remotely, EyeBuddy encourages healthier screen habits — one break at a time. Download EyeBuddy and take care of your eyes.
