Description

If you are spending too much time in front of computers, your eyes are the ones that gets strained to the maximum. Taking breaks at regular intervals will help to ease this strain and to protect your vision. A good rule here is to follow 20-20-20 rule to keep your vision intact for a healthy future. As per this rule, every 20 minutes, take your eyes off your computer and look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. eyeCare will remind you to take this break in multiple ways. Features: 1. 20-20-20 rule based break reminder setup. 2. Ability to customize the duration of the reminder. 3. Ability to run in the system tray from system startup, even when your browser is not running. 3. Provides you instructions on how to spend your break time. 4. Ability to customize and configure the break alert using desktop notification, sound notification etc. 5. Ability to disable and enable quickly when needed, with a single click. 6. The extension icon can flash/blink as break reminder for 20 seconds 7. Countdown display of the time remaining for the break (can be used as a standalone countdown timer too). You can reset the countdown as required. 8. Automatic synchronization of settings across your devices on the same browser. 9. Ability to automatically resume eyeCare protection after a preset duration. This is a must-have extension for computer professionals with lower back (spine) related problems, neck pain, eye-strain related headaches and red-eye. Repetitive stress injury (RSI) and eye strain are the common ailments among computer users. Taking a break every few minutes is going to save your health and vision.

Why after the amount of time you set it to (for the break) does it reset? That makes no sense! Fix please!

Should not have access to browsing history!!! I will rate at 5 stars when this permission is removed. Also, desktop notifications are broken in v0.0.0.9 (Jan 2015).

Why this app needs the permission to read the browsing history?!

Chrome reports that this extension may have been corrupted. Reparing doesn't get rid of it.

Read my browsing history? for what?

It doesn't say it'll work offline. What is it using the Internet for? And since it also wants my browsing history, I think I'll uninstall and use another extension. It' too bad because it's actually a nice extension otherwise.

Not as good as I thought it would be. First, It wont stop even when you put notebook to sleep?? still get notify every 20mins. Second, you can't set how long the rest time is, so after you get the 20mins notification, it immediately countddown 20 mins again...is it a bit foolish design, which mean if i take a 10 mins rest, it will notify again in 10 mins. So if add a few feature, it will actually be an useful and helpful app.

I am using this extension for years and I like it. But still there is one very basic bug that's not fixed yet. When it counts down to 20 minutes, it doesn't consider any 20 seconds break and restarts next 20 min countdown right away. I thought of making the timer for 20 min 20 seconds to avoid this issue, but unfortunately it allows 5 min increments only, which I don't understand why! I am cutting 1 star for the bug, and another star to get attention (if I can). Hopefully you solve the issue and compel me to give you 5 stars which you really deserve :)

Great app but would be nice if there was a volume control option for the sounds. I love the option to choose different sounds but the ding was too loud for me

Size > 5.5 MB? Such a simple apps and taking so much size? Even apps like Kaspersky or IDM takes less than 1 MB. It simply shows the quality of coding that you guys follow. Uninstalled.

It is working fine in Chrome installed in windows, but it crashes as soon as I try to open options in chrome of Ubuntu 18.04. It would be good to make it work fine in Ubuntu's chrome browser as well.

Would be great if everything worked properly. Unfortunately I could not get the desktop reminder to work and the sound is so so loud.

The app does exactly what it says and i love it! but i will give it 5 star only when, 1) it stops accessing my browsing history. 2) the developer adds a better User interface [Make the notification pop up somewhere in the side of the screen instead of opening a new tab] 3) Add a timer for the 20s i keep my eyes away from. Overall this extension is a 'Eye' saviour! I'm using it and a desktop app called f.lux These two apps are great!

Can't the background be black!!! It'll keep flashing a white popup every 20 minutes otherwise and I'd rather it be a smooth, soother color that doesn't dilate my eyes too often.

★★★☆☆2014-12-17

It does its job. However if I leave my desk for an extended period of time, I have many tabs to close, created by this. Wish it would re-use the same tab and just bring it forward (if that's possible), instead of creating a new tab every 20 minutes.

it is useful !
