iRest [for Mac]

iRest, for the sake of your eyes!
v1.08 -> v1.10 -> v1.23 -> v1.30 newer version is here!

iRest is an intelligent app that gives your eyes the rest they desperately need.
iRest will predict (not based on time, but by your mouse and keyboard behavior) the correct time to give your eyes a 10-second rest with a semi-transparent animation and crystal clear sound effects.

iRest is a MUST HAVE app if you are in front of your Mac more than 4 hours daily, have dry eye or other eye problems, or if you just want to save your vision!
Other apps use a time-based system to place the rest sessions, which is inaccurate, ineffective, and bothersome. However, the intelligent formula in iRest is related to user's behavior, so it's much more accurate. Therefore, your eyes rests only as needed.

features:
– intelligent engine uses a special prediction method based on user's mouse movement and keystroke behavior;
– 10 seconds interruption would not affect your work or enjoyment, and you can easily block iRest while playing video games;
– iRest will never pop out while you are watching movies;
– the animation's transparency and color can be adjusted;
– the sensitivity of the intelligent engine can be adjusted;
– life time free upgrades;

Tips for Sound Effects:
You may locate tons of Apple iLife and GarageBand sound effects in your Mac; please look for them in this folder: "/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/" or simply search "CAF" loop files or search for "music".
