01

Start a focused screen session

Use a clean 20-20-20 timer that tells you when to rest your eyes without turning the app into another distraction.

02

Take the break when it matters

Full-screen break moments make the reminder obvious and calm, so you actually look away instead of dismissing another tiny alert.

03

Track consistency over time

Simple stats show completed sessions, success rate, streaks, and recent history so the habit becomes visible.
