Protect your eyes with a gentle nudge
Lumo automates the 20-20-20 rule and reminds you to breathe. Stay healthy at your computer
5 out of 5 stars
I've been coding for 15 years and my eyes have never felt this good at the end of the day. The breathing reminders are the killer feature — I didn't even know I was holding my breath. The lotus flower is stupidly satisfying to complete.
The 20-20-20 rule, on autopilot.
Every 20 minutes, Lumo gently reminds you to look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Skippable, non-intrusive, automatic. The gold standard for eye strain prevention, without the willpower.
Give your eyes a vacation.
Every 20 minutes, a full-screen break gently pulls you away from your pixels. No willpower needed — just look up, let your eyes defocus, and come back sharper. Your retinas will send a thank-you note.
Stay consistent with analytics.
Weekly and monthly stats show your break consistency over time. Spot your worst days, celebrate your streaks, and build a habit that lasts months — not just a week.
Keep Lumo happy. Take your breaks.
Lumo lives in your menu bar and reacts to how you treat your eyes. Take breaks and watch him glow. Skip them and... well, he notices. A tiny accountability buddy that guilt-trips you just enough.
