Meet BudBreak — your mindful screen-time companion that helps you practice healthy eye habits throughout your day.
Looking at digital screens continuously causes eye strain, dryness, and fatigue. BudBreak gently reminds you to look away and rest your eyes using a subtle, animated sprout mascot that appears when you've been using your device continuously.
🌱 HOW BUDBREAK WORKS:
• Continuous-Use Tracking: BudBreak tracks continuous screen activity only while your screen is interactive and unlocked. Short interruptions or lock-screen glances don't trigger intrusive resets.
• Gentle Escalation:
- Stage 1 (Gentle Peek): A tiny mascot peeks from your chosen screen edge and waves hello.
- Stage 2 (Friendly Nudge): Slides in with a gentle speech bubble reminding you to take a pause.
- Stage 3 (Playful Reminder): Bounces into view and reminds you to look at something far away for 20 seconds (the 20-20-20 rule).
- Stage 4 (Full Rest Card): Dims the screen gently and offers simple "I looked away" and "Snooze" options.
• Non-Intrusive Design: During stages 1 to 3, the mascot is completely non-interactive so your taps pass straight through to whatever app you are using. You stay in full control.
• Quiet Hours: Set custom overnight quiet hours so BudBreak never disturbs your wind-down time or sleep.
• Fully Customizable: Adjust reminder thresholds (1–60 minutes), escalation steps, snooze duration, and pick your preferred side of the screen.
• Test Mode: Easily preview all four stages or speed up the timer to see exactly how BudBreak behaves.
🔒 PRIVACY & DEVICE RESPECT:
• 100% Offline: BudBreak has no internet permission. No data ever leaves your device.
• Zero Tracking: No analytics, no ads, no trackers, and no personal data collection.
• Battery Conscious: Efficient event-driven architecture designed to be light on your battery.
Give your eyes the rest they deserve with BudBreak!
A friendly sprout mascot that nudges you to rest your eyes and take breaks.
