LookAway 2

hy @kushsolitary your product is good, i liked, but i want to know something because i come from non-tech background. how did you build it?, is this vibe coding or manual coding?

The iPhone sync feature is a game changer for break reminders. Most people just pick up their phone the second a break starts, which defeats the whole purpose. Love that you thought about that loop. @kushsolitary How does the context awareness work during screen sharing or presentations, does it auto-pause?

I like this idea! It looks a lot nicer than ScreenTime

Curious how customizable it gets .Can users fine tune how strict or gentle the reminders are depending on their workflow?

posture reminders + eye breaks in one app makes sense. most people don't realize how connected those issues are - you lean forward when your eyes get tired, then your neck hurts, then you lean forward more. breaking that cycle early is key.

Congrats on the launch! This is such a thoughtful product — I feel like we all need this, especially those of us who spend way too many hours in front of a screen (definitely me 🙈). Honestly, something like this feels less like a “nice-to-have” and more like a must-have for everyday work.Love that it’s native, customizable, and actually gentle — that makes a huge difference for adoption.We actually just launched on Product Hunt a few days ago as well, so I can totally relate — hope you’re enjoying the launch day, it’s a big one Wishing you a great launch and lots of happy, well-rested users!

honestly these forced breaks help on long sessions. the snooze behavior is what makes or breaks these tools - if it's too easy to bypass, people just disable it.

More health apps like these! 🤌

Hi Kushagra! the context-aware part sells it for me. Every break reminder app I've tried before would interrupt me mid-flow and I'd just dismiss it and never come back. How does it decide when you're in the zone vs a good moment to break? Not an easy UX problem to solve I imagine?

Beautiful through and through!

what make it different from other similar product ?

Hi, I am Kushagra, the maker of LookAway.

I built LookAway after feeling the effects of long hours at my Mac myself -- dry eyes, a stiff neck, worsening posture, and the mental fog that builds up when you stay glued to a screen for too long.

From the beginning, I wanted LookAway to feel calm, thoughtful, and realistic for the way people actually work. Healthy screen habits are hard to maintain when reminders feel too rigid or show up at the wrong moment, so I focused on making something that adapts to your day and stays out of the way until it is needed.

That idea has guided the product since the start, and LookAway 2 is the biggest update yet.

This release brings a major redesign, smarter break enforcement, a full stats experience, and iPhone sync so breaks stay in sync across devices. I also added more context awareness, better pause handling, improved blink and posture reminders, and a more polished control center in the menu bar. A lot of this update came directly from user feedback, and a lot of it came from using the app myself every day and seeing where the experience could be better.

LookAway 2 is my effort to make taking breaks feel natural, sustainable, and a little more human. I am excited to finally share it here, and I would love to hear what you think.
