EyeRest – 20-20-20 Eye Rule

About

👁️ Save Your Eyes With Just 20 Seconds

EyeRest is a beautifully designed browser extension that helps you follow the doctor-recommended 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.

If you spend hours staring at a screen every day, your eyes are silently suffering. Digital eye strain causes headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision, and long-term damage. The 20-20-20 rule is the simplest scientifically-proven way to prevent it — and EyeRest makes it effortless.

✨ KEY FEATURES

✅ Beautiful Animated Breaks
A stunning full-screen overlay guides you through 5 micro-exercises: close your eyes, move your eyes, look 20 feet away — with smooth animations and a calming gradient background.

✅ Smart Reminders That Don't Annoy
Choose intervals of 10, 20, 30, or 45 minutes. EyeRest only reminds you during your active work hours — no interruptions during lunch breaks or weekends.

✅ Track Your Progress
See your daily breaks, streak days, and total eye-rest minutes. Build a healthy habit with visual stats and a streak counter that motivates you to keep going.

✅ Dark Mode
A built-in dark theme that's easy on your eyes (of course!).

✅ Soothing Sound Alerts
Gentle 528 Hz chimes that feel calming, not jarring. Optional — turn them off any time.

✅ One-Tap Control
Quick popup with on/off toggle, instant "Take Break Now" button, and all stats at a glance.

✅ Customizable Schedule
Set your active hours and active days so EyeRest only works when YOU work.

📚 THE SCIENCE

The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the 20-20-20 rule to prevent Computer Vision Syndrome. Looking at distant objects relaxes the ciliary muscles in your eyes that constantly contract when focusing on close-up screens. Just 20 seconds is enough to reset.
