“I will probably live longer simply because of this app.”
“I'm a coach who primarily works with remote professionals in the tech space, and I've been recommending LookAway to my clients. It's a total game changer for helping prevent tension headaches, eye strain, and promoting healthier work habits through mindful breaks.”
“LookAway has been my favorite productivity software for the past year. It helps me in a way that nothing else has — I honestly can't imagine working without it now.”
“I've been using LookAway for a few months now, and while it can be annoying sometimes, I know my future self is grateful for the screen breaks that protect my eye health.”
“I've downloaded the LookAway app for Mac to actually enforce my optician's advice of resting my eyes, and it's worth every penny. My eyes feel a lot more comfortable at work now.”
“I often get carried away with work and end up with strained eyes, and LookAway has been a huge help.”
“This is by far the most polished and well-executed app in this category I have ever used.”
