Blink: Focus & Eye Care

Blink is a 20-20-20 eye-care timer that protects your eyes while you focus. Every 20 minutes it nudges you to look away for 20 seconds — the eye-care habit eye doctors recommend — so you rest your eyes at the right moment, not when it's most disruptive. Prefer a classic Pomodoro cadence? That's built in too.

HOW IT WORKS
By default, Blink follows the 20-20-20 rhythm: 20 minutes of focus, then a 20-second eye break — look at something about 20 feet (6 metres) away. Want longer work blocks? Switch to the Pomodoro rhythm (25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute rest, and a longer break every fourth block) with the eye break folded in.

TWO MODES
• Strict: the eye break pauses your focus timer. A 20-minute focus block means 20 real focused minutes.
• Flow: the eye break is a soft, dismissible overlay. The timer keeps running — for when you're in the zone and just want a gentle nudge.

KNOWS WHEN TO BACK OFF
Blink pauses automatically when you take a call, set your phone face-down, or turn on a Focus mode. It never lurches into a break — a 30-second heads-up notification lets you snooze or continue before the break begins.

GENTLE BY DESIGN
No streak-shaming. No aggressive push notifications. Soft chimes and light haptics are optional. The app is calm because your day shouldn't feel like a game you're losing.

PRIVACY FIRST
No Blink account, no ads, no analytics. Your data stays on your device, and purchases are handled by Apple StoreKit.

SHORTCUTS & SIRI
Start a session, pause, skip a break, or check your stats — all from the Shortcuts app or with a Siri command. Works with Automations too.

PREMIUM (optional)
Premium unlocks smart auto-pause (calls, Focus modes, face-down detection), extra themes (Indigo, Forest), additional timer profiles (Deep Work, Quickstart, Custom), custom eye-break sounds, a long-break stretch card, and alternate app icons. A free trial may be available for eligible Apple Accounts. The core 20-20-20 timer, Pomodoro cycle, stats, and App Intents are always free.
