Improved blue filter

Mac
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.
