Aleye: Prevent Eye Strain with Screen Break Reminders
Aleye is a free Chrome add-on developed by Mihir Parekh. It aims to prevent eye strain by providing occasional and non-intrusive notifications to remind users to take screen breaks.
Staring at a screen for extended periods can lead to tired eye muscles, headaches, and neck pain. Aleye follows therule recommended by health experts, which suggests looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. With customizable options, Aleye allows users to set the time between reminders, choose mindfulness and stretching exercises notifications, and even set a count to inform when the 20-second break is over.
The add-on also offers an audio ping alongside the notification to ensure users don't miss the reminders. With Aleye, users can optimize their workday and prevent eye strain effectively.
