LookAway is a smart break reminder for Mac that helps reduce eye strain and screen fatigue. It combines break, blink, and posture reminders with context awareness and iPhone sync, so your breaks stay in sync across devices and never interrupt you at the wrong time.
Hi, I am Kushagra, the maker of LookAway.
I built LookAway after feeling the effects of long hours at my Mac myself -- dry eyes, a stiff neck, worsening posture, and the mental fog that builds up when you stay glued to a screen for too long.
From the beginning, I wanted LookAway to feel calm, thoughtful, and realistic for the way people actually work. Healthy screen habits are hard to maintain when reminders feel too rigid or show up at the wrong moment, so I focused on making something that adapts to your day and stays out of the way until it is needed.
That idea has guided the product since the start, and LookAway 2 is the biggest update yet.
This release brings a major redesign, smarter break enforcement, a full stats experience, and iPhone sync so breaks stay in sync across devices. I also added more context awareness, better pause handling, improved blink and posture reminders, and a more polished control center in the menu bar. A lot of this update came directly from user feedback, and a lot of it came from using the app myself every day and seeing where the experience could be better.
LookAway 2 is my effort to make taking breaks feel natural, sustainable, and a little more human. I am excited to finally share it here, and I would love to hear what you think.
