Hey fam,
I built Rest Now because I kept ignoring eye strain during long coding sessions until it started affecting my focus and sleep. Most existing apps felt overkill or paid, so I wanted something simple, lightweight, and friction-free.
Rest Now gently reminds you to take screen breaks, without breaking flow or nagging you. You could also use it as a Pomodoro Timer. I’ve been using it daily while coding and it’s quietly become part of my routine.
Would love for you to try it out and share feedback. Happy to answer any questions 🙂
