Breaks For Eyes 2.0.0 for macOS

. Breaks for Eyes is a helpful practice and reminder system designed to protect your vision by encouraging regular rest periods during screen use.

The concept focuses on giving your eyes short, frequent breaks so they can relax, refocus, and stay healthy. By following simple routines—like the 20-20-20 rule, structured screen breaks, and relaxation exercises—you can significantly reduce digital eye strain and improve overall comfort throughout the day.
