Product view
A small eye break timer app for healthier screen habits.
The app is intentionally simple: set a rhythm, stay in your flow, and let GlanceAway create moments where your eyes can reset.
01
Start a focused screen session
Use a clean eye break timer app that tells you when to rest your eyes without turning the habit into another distraction.
02
Take the break when it matters
Full-screen break moments make the reminder obvious and calm, so you actually look away instead of dismissing another tiny alert.
03
Track consistency over time
Simple stats show completed sessions, success rate, streaks, and recent history so the habit becomes visible.
How GlanceAway fits into your day
01
Choose your rhythm
Start with the classic 20 minute focus and 20 second eye break cadence, or adjust the interval to match your work.
02
Work without babysitting a timer
Let gentle reminders do the timing while you keep reading, coding, writing, studying, or working at your desk.
03
Review your progress
Use the stats view to see whether you are actually taking breaks and where your screen routine can improve.
Private by design
GlanceAway keeps timer settings, session history, statistics, and reminder preferences on your device. Optional premium purchase validation may be handled by Apple and RevenueCat, without advertising tracking.
