Rest Now is a lightweight screen break timer application designed specifically for macOS users. Its main purpose is to help reduce eye strain and mental fatigue during extended screen sessions by providing gentle reminders to take regular breaks, promoting healthier screen habits while maintaining productivity.
The application features eye-friendly break reminders that help prevent eye strain, headaches, and screen fatigue during long work sessions. It offers customizable intervals allowing users to set their ideal work and break durations, including support for the 20-20-20 rule or custom screen rhythms. The menu bar integration provides quick access to controls right from the macOS menu bar, enabling users to check status, pause, or adjust settings easily.
Rest Now operates through non-intrusive notifications that respect workflow with calm reminders rather than loud alarms or disruptive pop-ups. The application runs quietly in the background while you work, requiring minimal system resources and starting instantly. Users can configure their preferences once and let Rest Now work automatically without daily setup or management.
The benefits include preventing eye strain, reducing mental fatigue, and helping users build healthier screen habits. Use cases include supporting developers during long coding sessions, helping designers protect their vision while working, assisting students with study sessions, and benefiting professionals who spend extended time in meetings or working with spreadsheets.
The target users are macOS users who spend long hours coding, designing, studying, or working on their computers. The application is specifically built for developers, designers, students, and professionals who need to maintain eye health and productivity during extended screen time.
