🫵🏻 You know that feeling.

🫵🏻 You know that feeling. It's 2am, you're deep in a project, and your eyes feel like sandpaper.

Sore Eyes is a macOS menu bar app reminding freelancers and remote workers to take eye breaks. Built on the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds), it's the gentle nudge your eyes need.

With remote work booming and screen time at all-time highs in 2026, digital wellness is a growing market. Sore Eyes targets the 70M+ freelancers who spend 8-14 hours daily on screens with no one telling them to pause.

Why You'll Love It: 🎯 Set and forget - runs quietly in the menu bar ✨ Calming animated glow reminders, not annoying popups ⚡ Lightweight - no battery drain 🌙 Dark mode for midnight grinders 🔇 Optional sounds - chimes or silence
