Eye care and focus timer
Blink
A gentle timer for the breaks your eyes keep forgetting to take.

The problem
Long stretches at a screen make it easy to ignore eye breaks. A useful reminder needs to be visible enough to change behavior without becoming another distracting productivity system.
The approach
Blink combines the 20-20-20 routine with familiar Pomodoro timing. Strict and Flow modes let people choose how structured a session feels, while clear heads-up notifications make the next break hard to miss.
What it does
- 20-20-20 eye-break sessions and Pomodoro focus modes
- Strict and Flow timing options
- Live Activities and Dynamic Island status
- Home Screen widgets plus Siri and Shortcuts actions
- Session history and progress views
How it is built
- A native SwiftUI interface across iPhone, iPad, and a Mac menu-bar experience
- ActivityKit for glanceable live timer state
- SwiftData for local session history
- App Intents for system-level actions
Designed for the task at hand.
Privacy by design
Blink keeps session data on the device. It does not require an account to start a timer or review progress.
