Relieve digital eye strain with automatic 20-20-20 break reminders, relaxing eye exercises, gentle chimes & cute pet companions. 🐾 Meet Pawse — a little reminder to give your eyes a break. We spend hours staring at screens every day, and it’s easy to forget to look away until your eyes are already tired. Pawse follows the simple 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds to look at something about 20 feet away. It runs quietly in the background and gives you a gentle nudge when it’s time for a break. No accounts. No tracking. No complicated setup. Just a small reminder to look away for a moment. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👀 TAKE A QUICK EYE BREAK Pawse reminds you when it’s time to step away from the screen. You can keep the default 20-minute rhythm or adjust it to fit the way you work. 🧘 A FEW SIMPLE EXERCISES Sometimes looking away is enough. When you want a little more, Pawse has four short exercises: • Distance Gaze — Look into the distance and let your eyes relax. • Infinity — Follow a slow figure-eight with your eyes. • Blink Break — A few slow, deliberate blinks to give your eyes a reset. • Palming — Cover your closed eyes with your warm palms and take a quiet moment. They're short, simple, and easy to fit between tasks. 🐕 A LITTLE COMPANY If reminders feel too clinical, you can have Buddy the dog or Milo the cat keep you company. They don't get in the way or demand your attention. They're just there when it's time for a break. ⏱️ MADE TO FIT THE WAY YOU WORK You can adjust almost everything: • Break interval: 5–120 minutes • Break duration: 10–60 seconds • A gentle 3-second countdown before each break • Snooze for 5 minutes when you're in the middle of something • Active Hours so Pawse stays quiet outside your workday • Keyboard shortcuts for pausing, snoozing, and ending a break Esc to finish · Space to pause · Z to snooze 🔒 PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Pawse works completely offline. There’s no account to create, no telemetry, and no external tracking. Your break reminders stay on your device. Pawse is just here to remind you of something that's surprisingly easy to forget: look away from the screen once in a while.
