iRestFREE
macOS / Forme et santé
iRestFREE & iRest, for the sake of your eyes!
iRestFREE is the free version of our intelligent iRest and iRestReminder.
The only difference between them is iRestFREE uses a timer-based counter instead of iRest's unique intelligent prediction engine!
It will give your eyes a 10-second rest with a semi-transparent animation and crystal clear sound effects according to the time period which you set up.
iRestFREE and iRest are MUST-HAVE apps if you are in front of your Mac for more than 4 hours daily, have dry eye or other eye problems, or if you just want to save your vision!
