iRest

iRest is a handy macOS app that helps you take care of your eyes when you’re glued to your computer screen for hours. What makes iRest super cool is that it can tell when you need a break by keeping an eye on how much you’re typing and moving your mouse. This is way different from other apps out there!

Why You Need iRest

When it’s time for a little eye break, iRest will show a colorful animation on your screen for about 10 seconds. Depending on how you set it up, it can also play sounds like Apple sound effects or even your own favorite tunes during the animation. It’s like having a fun reminder to give your eyes some love!

Smart Breaks for Better Focus

This app uses a smart engine that knows the right moment to suggest you take those quick 10-second breaks. Since these breaks are so short, they won’t mess with your workflow too much; in fact, they might even help boost your productivity!

Tweak Settings to Fit Your Style

You can customize several options from the Preferences window in iRest. Feel free to change the color of the overlay, adjust how transparent it is, and set how many minutes should pass between each rest (you can choose between 8 and 60 minutes). Plus, pick out sound effects that make you smile and control how fast the animation runs.

No Interruptions During Fun Times

An added bonus? iRest knows not to bother you while you're watching movies or playing games. It’s smart enough to know when not to interrupt your fun time!

The Perfect Solution for Eye Care

If you're looking for an easy-to-use and budget-friendly tool to help with eye strain, iRest could be just what you need! While it doesn’t have tons of features, this app cleverly predicts when it's time for some eye relief and lets you adjust everything just the way you like it.
