SaveMyEyes

SaveMyEyes is a handy app for all of us who use our Macs for work and fun. You know how we can get caught up in staring at our screens? It’s tough on our eyes! Not to mention, eye health problems are becoming super common these days.

Why Use SaveMyEyes?

SaveMyEyes is designed to help you take care of your eyes easily. It hangs out in your menu bar and nudges you to take breaks regularly. You can even set how often you want those breaks! Best part? It’s free, open-source, and super light on your system.

Getting Started with SaveMyEyes

Once you launch the app, just click its icon in the menu bar. From there, you can set your preferred work and break times. Want some sound notifications? You got it! Plus, you can have it start up automatically when you log in.

The Timer Feature

After you've got everything configured, just check the Run timer box. The app will start counting down and will send you a notification when it's time for a break or when it's time to get back to work. The icon doesn’t show the timer countdown, which is nice because it helps keep your focus where it should be—on your tasks!

More Than Just Eye Care

This app isn’t just about protecting your eyes; it’s also good for your back, hands, neck—pretty much every part of you that feels sore from sitting too long or doing repetitive movements.

The Importance of Moving Around

If you really want to see benefits, remember to stand up from your desk now and then! Move around a bit and try looking at something far away for a change.

Simplicity at Its Best

The app is built using Swift, which means it’s small and efficient. It stays as an icon in the menu bar so it won’t interrupt what you're doing or distract you while working.

A Great Choice for Simple Break Reminders

If you're looking for an easy way to remind yourself to take breaks without all the extra bells and whistles that other apps might offer, SaveMyEyes is definitely worth checking out!
