What is Safe Eyes?
Safe Eyes is a free and open-source application designed to help prevent computer vision syndrome. It works by tracking the amount of time you spend looking at your computer screen and prompting you to take regular breaks to rest your eyes.
Some key features of Safe Eyes include:
- Activity tracking - Safe Eyes runs in the background while you work and tracks details like your active computer usage time, number of breaks taken, and total break time.
- Customizable break reminders - You can configure Safe Eyes to remind you to take breaks at set intervals, such as every 30-60 minutes.
- Break screen - When a break reminder occurs, a screen pops up encouraging you to relax your eyes and provides eye exercise guidance to help reduce eye fatigue.
- Statistics and reporting - Safe Eyes provides activity reports so you can review your computer usage and break patterns.
- Open-source - As an open source program, Safe Eyes is transparent, free to use without restrictions, and allows community contribution.
Regular use of Safe Eyes can help prevent digital eye strain caused by prolonged computer use. By encouraging frequent short breaks, it helps you consciously rest your eyes and ward off headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision, and other symptoms of computer vision syndrome.
