About OptiBreak
Protect your eyes with OptiBreak!
Staring at a screen for too long can cause eye fatigue, headaches, and long-term vision problems — known as Computer Vision Syndrome. OptiBreak helps you stay healthy by reminding you to take short, effective breaks.
👁 How it works:
Every 20 minutes (or your custom interval), you'll receive a notification reminding you to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds — following the 20-20-20 rule recommended by eye care professionals.
If you connect your Google Calendar, OptiBreak will automatically pause notifications while you’re in an active meeting, so your workflow remains distraction-free.
🛠 Features:
Simple, clean interface
Set custom reminder intervals
Lightweight, non-intrusive
Countdown timer until next break
Desktop notification (no popups or ads)
🔗 Optional Google Calendar integration to disable reminders during meetings
