Full description
When your screen time runs long, your eyes get tired: dry, heavy, harder to focus. And we usually only notice the eye strain after it has already set in. Faro quietly watches your long screen time and waits. Most of the time it stays silent, and it gives you a gentle eye rest reminder only when you have been looking for too long. • Eye rest reminders that fit your flow Faro is not just a timer that buzzes every 20 minutes. Unlike the well-known 20-20-20 rule, it does not interrupt you on a fixed schedule. When you are glancing at a message, when your screen is off, or when you need to focus, such as navigation, a phone call, or a video call, Faro stays quiet and waits. It speaks up only when a long, continuous stretch of screen time builds up, using a floating button, a soft edge glow, or a notification card to gently point to a moment to rest. You never have to start or stop a timer yourself. • Never forces, never blocks Faro does not block your apps or lock you out. It appears quietly over the screen only when it is needed, and the notification card can be made smaller or turned off. It is here to help you notice eye strain sooner, not to police your phone. • A simple way to log rest Tap Rest on the notification card, or long-press the floating button, to record a break. As small rests add up, it becomes easier to look back on your own screen rhythm. • A light eye rest habit Keep an easy, low-pressure daily goal for resting your eyes. See how much you have rested today, and let small breaks build up over time. • Weekly stats and a rhythm map See your weekly screen time, completed rests, snoozes, and your patterns by time of day, all in one place. The rhythm map calmly shows when your screen time ran long and when it was hard to take a break, so you notice long sessions a little sooner. • Reminder intensity that suits you Choose Gentle, Balanced, or Firm to decide how quietly, or how clearly, Faro steps in. • Skip the moments that should not be interrupted Faro can pause its signals in apps that need your focus, like navigation. You can add your own apps to the exception list anytime. Faro is not an app that tells you to cut your screen time no matter what. It is a quiet tool that helps you notice eye fatigue and eye strain a little sooner during long screen time, so you can look away, blink, refocus, and come back.

What's new

Faro is now available with gentle eye-rest reminders and weekly rhythm insights.
