StepAway
Stop Eye Strain. Protect Your Rest. Reclaim Your Flow.

StepAway is a macOS application that functions as a meeting-aware break timer for eye strain relief and better posture. It lives in the menu bar, reminds you to rest your eyes, blink and straighten up, and pauses automatically when you step away or join a call. This tool is designed for developers, designers, and anyone who spends long hours at a Mac and wants healthier work habits.
Key Features:
- Reminds you to take 20-20-20 eye breaks from a native menu bar timer.
- Nudges you to fix your posture with a Spine Align drop-down HUD.
- Adds gentle blink reminders to help prevent dry eyes.
- Pauses timers when you leave your desk and postpones breaks during Zoom or Slack calls.
- Includes guided eye and stretch exercises and a GitHub-style activity heatmap.
StepAway is a macOS break timer that reminds you to rest your eyes, blink and fix your posture. It pauses automatically during meetings and when you step away, so breaks never interrupt real work.
