I Built a Smarter 20-20-20 App Because Every Other One Annoyed Me
Short summary
A developer built Blink, a context-aware 20-20-20 eye-strain reminder app that intelligently pauses during meetings, detects flow states and desk absence, and lets timers run during AI waits. It's fully open source with zero tracking or analytics—everything runs locally. The core insight: context-aware reminders are less annoying and actually get used, unlike typical reminder apps.
- •Context-aware design pauses during meetings, flow states, and auto-resets when away from desk
- •Fully open source with zero tracking, analytics, or network calls—all local processing
- •Launching to App Store soon; GitHub open for contributions and code review
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
