Staring at screens all day quietly
wears your eyes out.
The average office worker spends 7+ hours a day in front of a screen. Blink rate drops by 60%. Eye muscles stay locked at the same focal distance. The result has a name: Digital Eye Strain. The symptoms are familiar.
Reduced blinking dries the tear film and irritates the surface of the eye.
Sustained near-focus locks the ciliary muscle and softens distance vision.
Eye-strain radiates into the temples, forehead and back of the neck.
Cognitive load doubles when your eyes are quietly fighting for focus.

Reset whispers.
Nagging, ugly, ignored.
- —System notifications you instantly dismiss without looking.
- —Aggressive timers that interrupt mid-sentence and break flow.

Calm, beautiful, effective.

- Pause or skip anytime — Reset works around your flow, not against it.
