Have You Rested?
Eye-break reminders and presence-aware display sleep for Mac
A local-first macOS menu bar app for 20-20-20 eye breaks, blink and posture nudges, optional camera-verified breaks, focus stats, and smarter display sleep. Native Swift, Apple-notarized, privacy-first, and no video is ever recorded.
Hey Product Hunt,
I built Have You Rested? because I kept running into two boring but annoying Mac problems:
1. I ignore eye breaks until my eyes, neck, and back start hurting.
2. macOS display sleep is never quite right. It sleeps while I’m reading or thinking, but stays on when I actually leave.
So I made a small native Mac menu bar app around the 20-20-20 rule.
The free version includes timed eye breaks, blink/posture nudges, and Privacy Mode.
Pro adds optional camera-verified breaks, focus stats, and display automation: the screen can stay on while you’re looking, turn off when you look away, and let the Mac sleep when you leave.
Privacy was a big part of the design:
- no video recorded
- no screenshots
- no camera frames uploaded
- detection runs locally on the Mac
- the Mac app only contacts my server for license checks and optional updates
I’m launching with a Product Hunt code:

Would love feedback, especially from people who work long hours on a Mac.
One thing I'd love is a "do not disturb during meetings" toggle that can hook into calendar events automatically, so the nudges stop when I'm on calls without me having to remember to pause it.
honestly this looks really solid, especially loving the local-first and notarized setup. one thing i'd love to see is a quick "snooze for 10 min" option right from the menu bar dropdown, basically a small escape hatch for when you're in deep focus and a nudge would be super annoying. you could make the snooze length customizable in settings too
this looks really well thought out, especially the local-first approach. one thing i'd love is a quick way to customize the break duration per nudge type, like shorter blinks but longer posture reminders, since they feel different in practice. would make it feel way more personal.
