I'm working on LookAway, a Mac app that reminds you to take breaks from the screen at the right moment instead of interrupting you at random. https://lookaway.com

Right now I'm focused on the stats side. It already shows how much time you spend in each app, and I'm adding website tracking too, which should make the picture much more useful.

I'm also working on better break timing for dictation. LookAway already delays a due break if you're in the middle of typing, so it does not interrupt at a bad time. Now I'm trying to extend that same behavior to dictation as well, which turns out to be a pretty interesting detection problem because it overlaps with some of the other context signals I already use.

Most of the challenge is making it smarter without making it feel more intrusive.
