🫵🏻 You know that feeling. It's 2am, you're deep in a project, and your eyes feel like sandpaper.
Sore Eyes (https://contra.com/products/p7pbZe1g-sore-eyes-give-your-eyes-a-break) 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.
