With just a few clicks on your Mac, you can set your breaks to match your workflow. For example, you can set it to a 20-second pause every 20 minutes or a 5-minute rest after an hour. You can also customize the skip behavior: skip anytime, skip after a delay, or lock breaks so you can’t skip. Just set it and forget it, or adapt on the go.

You might worry that taking breaks will interrupt your workflow — especially during meetings, deep focus sessions, or screen recordings. But LookAway’s Smart Pause feature detects when you’re engaged in these activities and automatically delays break reminders. This way, your focus stays intact, and your eye health is still supported at the right moments.

With the free LookAway Mirror app for the iPhone, you can sync the Mac breaks to your iPhone. So, whenever your Mac goes on break, your iPhone automatically blocks distracting websites and non-essential apps too! No more mindlessly scrolling through social media when you should be resting your eyes.
