About
LookAway schedules screen breaks and shows a heads-up countdown before each one, with options to snooze or start the break early. It pauses on its own during screen recording, calls, video playback, fullscreen games, and chosen focus apps, and adds optional posture and blink reminders. Breaks can also sync to an iPhone or iPad through the companion LookAway Mirror app.
