Open LinkedIn for five minutes as a developer.

You will see a founder crying about failure in an airport lounge. A recruiter posting "Excited to share that I'm hiring!" for the fourteenth time this week. A motivational quote about hustle printed over a sunset. Three humblebrags disguised as life lessons. One "I'm grateful and blessed" announcement with 4,000 likes.

And somewhere, buried under all of it, maybe one actually useful post.

I'm building an app to reduce screen fatigue on Mac. Has anyone found something that actually works?

Like many developers and founders, I spend most of my day on my Mac, coding, reading documentation, researching, chatting with AI, and writing.

I've tried eye drops, the 20-20-20 rule, regular breaks, and computer glasses. They all helped, but I kept wondering:

Why do we always have to adapt to our screens? Why can't our screens adapt to us?

Picture in Sepia.
