App: Blink Reminder

Do your eyes feel dry or burn and sting after using your computer? If so, you might not be blinking enough, and this blinking reminder can help!  It's a customizable app featuring a full-screen flash of color that reminds you to blink.

FEATURES:

*Full-screen reminder — unlike an icon or image that takes up a small part of your screen, this flash is much more noticeable
*Customizable reminder transparency — you can ensure it’s opaque enough to be seen, but still allows you to see what you’re working on, so there's no interruption to your workflow
*Adjustable color — change the color of the reminder as often as needed to prevent your brain from learning to “tune it out” — I usually change the color every 2-4 hours
*Maintain privacy — it doesn’t require the use of your webcam

HOW TO USE THIS APP

1. Update your Mac to Ventura.
2. Install Blink Reminder.
3. Launch the app, then choose your screen flash color, interval, duration, and opacity.
4. Click the “Start” button.
5. Every time your screen flashes, make sure you blink!

EXAMPLE SETTINGS

Your mileage may vary, but because I have such severe symptoms when I don’t blink often enough, the settings I use are as follows:

*Flash interval - 10 seconds
*Flash duration - 0.5–1 second
*Opacity - I set the slider bar approximately 3/4 of the way to the right

With the above settings, I tend to remember to blink much more often. 

I created this app because I have severe dry eye and corneal neuralgia and I need to be able to use my laptop all day without dry eye pain. This Blink Reminder app has helped me a lot, and my hope is that it'll help you, too. 

To use Blink Reminder, simply search for "BlinkReminder.app" on your hard drive, launch the app, and choose your custom settings. Then click the "Start" button. Every time your screen flashes, make sure you blink!

Try it now! :)
