Blink reminders and a 20-20-20 eye break timer that fight eye strain, dry eyes & screen fatigue. Free. No account, no tracking. Eye strain, dry eyes, and tired eyes after a long day at a screen usually come down to one thing: when you focus on a screen, your blink rate drops by more than half. Fewer blinks means less moisture, so your eyes end up dry, gritty, and fatigued. BlinkGuard is a gentle blink reminder and 20-20-20 eye break timer that keeps your eyes comfortable through long work, study, and screen sessions. At an interval you choose, BlinkGuard shows a soft, non-intrusive cue that nudges you to blink fully a few times and look away from the screen. No pop-ups, no noise by default, nothing that breaks your focus. Pick the style that fits your room and your work, then carry on. It is a simple way to fight eye strain, dry eyes, and computer eye fatigue, and to build a healthier screen habit around the 20-20-20 rule that eye care professionals recommend: every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. FEATURES • Blink reminders on your own schedule, from frequent to relaxed • Eye Glow: a gentle glow at the edges of the screen that fades in and out • A reminder card with a quick "blink" prompt • More cue styles: screen dim, border pulse, and a soft audio chime • Night Shift: an optional warm tint that is easier on the eyes in the evening • Focus profiles for different kinds of work (deep focus, reading, eye recovery) • Option to show reminders even over fullscreen video like YouTube • Simple daily stats for your reminders and screen time • Automatic light and dark mode that follows your system theme • Works on every site, available in 19 languages PRIVACY BlinkGuard runs entirely on your device. Your settings and stats are stored locally and are never sent anywhere. No account, no tracking, no ads. BlinkGuard supports everyday eye comfort during screen use. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you have persistent eye discomfort, dryness, or pain, please see an eye care professional.
