How it works
The 20-20-20 rule, kept for you
It is a simple habit for long screen days. The hard part is remembering it, so Look20 does the remembering.
-
Every 20 minutes
Work as usual. The sky on your home screen dims from day to dusk as the next break nears. Scroll back up: that is what it looks like.
-
Look about 20 feet away
When the break comes, look at something about 20 feet, or 6 metres, away: across the room or out of a window.
-
For 20 seconds
A ring counts down and paces your breathing while the sun sets. A soft chime tells you when to get back to it.
It opens full screen. Done or Esc closes it at any time.
Features
A ring that paces your breath
The break fills your screen with the sky at dusk. A ring counts down and swells and settles to a slow five-in, five-out rhythm.
One schedule on every screen
Sign in on your iPhone, Android phone, Mac, Windows or Linux computer, the web, or the Chrome and Firefox extension. They share one timer, so each break arrives once, wherever you are working.
Always know when the next break is coming.
The browser extension, the clock and the sky on your screen all count down to the same next break.
Heading into a meeting?
Turn breaks off on one device and keep them on the others, or stop them everywhere at once.
A week of suns
Each day’s sun rises as your breaks add up. A full sun is a day’s worth.
Plus keeps your full break history, so you can see how the habit is going.

Done, snooze or hold to skip
Finish with Done, push the break back five minutes, or hold to skip when you really can’t stop. A stray tap won’t skip it.
A calm break on every screen you use
Look20 is small on purpose. It keeps one timer for you everywhere and gets out of the way until it is time to look up.
Reminders that keep coming offline
Your phone queues upcoming reminders ahead of time, so they still arrive without a connection. Changes sync when you are back.
Easy on the eyes after dark
Dark mode follows your system, or you can choose light or dark yourself. The landscape dims to blue hour at night.
No password to remember
Sign in with your email and a one-time code we send you. Use the same email on every device.
Nothing to sell but the app
No ads, no third-party analytics, and we never sell your data. We keep only what the app needs to work.
Your own chime
Choose a built-in sound, or bring your own and trim it to two seconds. Your sound stays on your device.

Questions
What is the 20-20-20 rule?
Every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something about 20 feet (6 metres) away for at least 20 seconds. It is a common suggestion for people who spend long days at a screen. Look20 reminds you when it is time and keeps you company for the 20 seconds.
Will Look20 fix eye strain?
Look20 is a reminder, not a treatment, and it is not a medical device. It helps you remember to rest your eyes. If your eyes hurt, feel dry for long stretches, or your vision changes, please see an eye-care professional.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, the web, and the Chrome and Firefox extension. Sign in with the same email everywhere and they share one schedule. The free plan covers one device; Plus syncs as many as you like.
How do I sign in?
Enter your email and we send you a one-time code. Type it in and you are signed in. There is no password to create or forget.
What if a device is offline?
Phones queue upcoming reminders ahead of time, so breaks still arrive without a connection. Desktop apps and extensions need to be running. Any changes you make sync once you are back online.
Can I keep breaks off on one device?
Yes. With Plus, each device has its own “breaks on this device” switch, and you can stop breaks everywhere at once when you head into a meeting.
Can I use my own sound?
Yes. Choose a sound file and trim it to two seconds. It stays on that device and is never uploaded.
What do you do with my data?
We keep what the app needs to work: your email, your devices and their settings, and 40 days of break history. No ads, no selling data, no third-party analytics. The privacy policy has the details.
Can I get a refund?
Yearly and lifetime purchases made on the web can be refunded within 14 days of your first purchase. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time. App Store and Google Play purchases are refunded by Apple or Google. See refunds.
