About this extension
BreakWise forces you to take eye breaks every 20 minutes using the scientifically-backed 20-20-20 rule.
HOW IT WORKS:
Every 20 minutes, a full-screen overlay appears with a 20-second countdown timer. You look away from your screen for 20 seconds. The overlay closes automatically. You go back to work.
No dismiss button. No snooze. Just the break.
FEATURES:
✓ Eye break reminders every 20 minutes
✓ 20-second countdown timer overlay
✓ Posture check alerts every hour
✓ Streak tracking miss a break, streak resets
✓ Daily compliance score
✓ Gentle sound chime on break
✓ Customisable break intervals (20/30/45/60 min)
✓ Pause/resume with one click
✓ Dashboard with weekly stats
✓ Works on all websites
✓ No account required
✓ No data collection
✓ Works offline
WHY IT WORKS:
Most break reminder apps send notifications. You dismiss them without thinking. BreakWise uses a full-screen overlay that requires your attention for 20 seconds long enough to actually rest your eyes.
The streak mechanic adds loss aversion: missing a break hurts more than taking one.
