Show HN: macOS app to help you blink more (github.com)
4 points by Remy42 460 days ago
A macOS menu bar app that helps reduce eye strain by fading your screen when you stare at it for too long without blinking. Perfect for long HN sessions!

Wow, exactly what I need.

I would suggest adding also configurable time breaks, like every xx minutes for yy seconds.

I was wondering how to figure out "when you stare at it for too long", then saw "Uses Mac's built-in front facing camera".. Err, I am not sure whether I want to keep camera on for this..

It uses a noticeable amount of resources/energy. I mainly use it for text-heavy tasks like reading research papers.
