About this app

GazeRest is a lightweight, offline, low-distraction desktop eye-care helper. It reminds you to look into the distance based on continuous screen time and follows the internationally recognized 20-20-20 principle: after every 20 minutes of screen use, look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds to relax your eyes and protect your vision. Its features include a 20-second break countdown, four reminder intensity levels, persistent tray status, daily screen-time statistics, and a viewing-distance calculator. All product data stays only on your local device. GazeRest is permanently open-source and free; if you have feature ideas or experience feedback, you can share them on my GitHub, and I will improve what I see.github address：https://github.com/qq869588315/GazeRest

What's New

Version 1.0.2 · 2026-05-26

Fixed startup behavior that could continue temporary runtime state from the previous app session
Restarting the app now clears pending reminders, running breaks, snooze, pause, and the current continuous screen-time streak, then starts a fresh reminder cycle
Today's total screen time and today's longest streak are still kept for the current local day, and still reset after the local date changes
Unfinished break sessions are marked as interrupted on exit or restart so the next launch never resumes an old countdown
