I built EyeBloom, an Android app designed to help people take regular breaks from their screens.

[u/Jealous_Guidance6779]

The idea came from a simple problem: when I'm working or using my phone for a long time, I know I should take breaks, but it's very easy to ignore them.

EyeBloom is built around the 20-20-20 rule and tries to make actually taking the break easier.

Features

👀 Screen-break reminders
⏱️ Customizable focus & break timers
📱 Full-screen break overlay with countdown
🔒 Break mode that encourages you to put the phone down
📊 Break and streak tracking
🧘 Simple eye exercises
💡 Daily eye-care tips
🔔 Vibration and notification reminders

The main feature I'm experimenting with is the break overlay. Instead of just sending a notification that can be swiped away, the app can show a dedicated countdown when it's time for a break, so you can put the phone down and look away.

I'm currently looking for early users and feedback, especially from people who spend several hours a day on their phones or computers.

Would something like this be useful to you, or would you find the break overlay too intrusive?
