Eyecon - Auto pause video when you look away
by•
Eyecon pauses the video when you stop looking at the screen, and starts it again when you look back. Someone talks to you. You reach for something. You fall asleep. The video keeps playing, you miss a few minutes, and then you drag the progress bar around hunting for the spot where you left off. Eyecon removes that whole loop. The front camera checks one thing: whether your eyes are on the screen. When they are not, Eyecon sends a pause to whatever app is playing.

Eyecon is a fully offline mobile app that requires only a one-time purchase. There are no ads, account requirements, subscriptions, or separate Pro features. Once you buy it, everything is yours.
Eyecon doesn't support vertical videos, but it works with horizontal videos in any app that provides media playback controls. It also includes rewind and sleep mode features.
@sephoria Interesting stuff! Does it work with all kinds of video streaming services on your phone? (Including web browser videos)
Does it keep the data from you? I mean it films you constantly?
GL for the launch
Such a fun idea! Just what I needed for my dinnertime YouTube sesh.
Curious: what sort of permissions does the app require to make this work?
