About this app

Your eyes have been on a screen since morning. Oculo gives them three to five guided minutes before the day ends, on a train with no signal, with no account to create and no ads to sit through.

Tired right now?
One tap from the home screen starts a short relaxation session. Nothing to answer, nothing to set up. It is in the free set, because the moment you need it is the wrong moment to meet a paywall.

A plan for today
Answer two questions once, your goal and your screen time, and Oculo builds a three-to-five-minute set for the day. It leans away from what you did yesterday. There is no AI in it: it is a set of plain rules, reading your two answers and yesterday's session on the phone and nothing else.

Pick it yourself
Open the library and choose from 24 exercises in five categories:
• Warm-up: easy movements for when you have been fixed on one distance for a long time
• Movement: tracking and quick gaze jumps across the screen
• Focus: shifting between near and far, holding a steady gaze, and the 20-20-20 break
• Peripheral vision: noticing what happens at the edge of what you see
• Relaxation: blinking rhythm, a screen-free pause with your eyes closed, resting the gaze, and breathing

Guided, not a wall of text
A dark screen, a shape to follow, a voice telling you what comes next, and the volume where you want it. Stop in the middle and the session waits for you.

One reminder, one streak
One reminder a day by default, at a time you choose. The sphere on the home screen changes colour with how long it has been since your last session. The streak picks up again the day you come back, and nothing scolds you for the days you missed.

Built for eyes that are already tired
• Built to stay readable at 200% system text size
• Buttons, states and progress are labelled for TalkBack
• Text on the dark background is checked against WCAG AA
• Turn on Remove animations in system settings and the animations calm down instead of disappearing

Your data stays on your phone
• No account. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into.
• Works offline. The only thing that needs the network is a purchase.
• Diagnostics are off until you turn them on. Analytics and crash reports stay disabled unless you opt in, and you can switch them off again in Settings.
• No ads. No selling data to anyone.

Free and Oculo Pro
Seven exercises are free, with no time limit, together with the plan for the day, the quick session, reminders and the streak. Oculo Pro opens the rest of the library, all 24 exercises, so the plan has the whole catalogue to draw from. After a 7-day free trial.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. A free trial converts into a paid subscription on the same terms unless you cancel before it ends. The trial length and the price after the trial are shown before you confirm. Cancel any time in Google Play, under Payments and subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

Honest about what this is
Oculo is a wellness app for screen fatigue and eye exercise habits. It does not treat eye conditions, does not replace an eye doctor, and is not a medical device. Eye exercises do not change your refraction. If your eyes hurt, your vision changes, or discomfort does not go away, see an eye care professional.

Before you start
Some exercises use moving shapes and brief flashes of light. If you have a diagnosed eye condition, had eye surgery or an eye injury, get migraines, have epilepsy or any photosensitive condition, or are pregnant, ask a professional before you start. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, nausea or any change in your vision.

Oculo is made for anyone with a lot of screen time: office work, development, studying. It is for ages 13 and up and is not designed for children.
