Getting frequent crashes of Setapp version on my work laptop (m3 pro). I also have a non-Setapp version on my personal laptop (m1 pro) and that one works great.

Helpful and unobtrusive enough but also noticeable enough to remind me to adjust my posture and take quick breaks. Automatically pauses itself during video calls and also easy to pause manually.

Amazing app. I've used many apps with similar functionality, but this is perfect: annoying when it should be, easy enough to reject if I need to - chef's kiss.

It’s kind of annoying, and unfortunatley I dont ever listen😭 personal problem I know. Otherwise, amazing concept and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

A little tool I didn’t know I needed but definitely benefited my posture and eye strain, thank you!

I wanted to like LookAway because the idea of helping rest your eyes while working on a PC is great, but the execution is frustrating. The biggest problem is how it handles breaks. If I step away from my computer for a while and then come back, the app asks me to take a break. That makes no sense, I already took a break by being away from the PC.

Hi Pavlo, this behavior is customizable. You can tweak it from Settings → Smart Pause → Idle Time Handling. If it's set to manual then set it to automatic and LookAway will automatically determine if you have already taken a natural break. In case it's not clear it will just ask you.

Althouth it can be annoying at times, it has made me give my eyes some rest when working for long stretches, and the suggestions to move/stretch are also great.

Just started using this app and am really happy with it so far. It’s well thought out and very customizable. I love how it gives you a 30 sec warning before a break is about to start, and allows you to ‘snooze’ a break. This way, if you’re in the middle of an important thought, you can finish your thought before taking the break.

Es app esta muy bienh, te recuerda cuando descansar la vista y cuando mejorar la postura. Es capaz de detectar si estas en una videollamada para no molestarte.

This is one of the most polished apps I’ve used, ever. And it has all the right options for taking care of yourself when you use the computer all day. Thanks for making this, devs!

LOVE IT! Have tried a handfull of such apps, this one is the best by far. No skips, smart breaks and phone sync make it a gamechanger for me. Would love to see on the iphone: app selection to NOT block (e.g. an app I use for white noize, so that it’s not interrupted). I need to make just 2-3 exclusions rather than make a list of apps to block

Me gusta la aplicación. Me invita a hacer mis pausas necesarias que muchas veces quedan de lado por trabajo.

很好,很多软件非常好用。但作为不会英文中文用户,都要翻译去设置某些功能,这方面体验需要花点时间,总是是非常好用的软件和软件平台。
