Peeka - A sleepy ghost that dims your Mac for 20-second eye breaks

Peeka is a small ghost that lives on your Mac and gets sleepier while you work, so a break never comes out of nowhere. Every 20 minutes it waits until you stop typing, dims your screen for 20 seconds and suggests something far away to look at. It stays out of calls, screen shares and full-screen slides, and naps when you step away. Skipping is one key, with no streaks to lose. Native Swift, no account, no analytics. Free for 7 days, then $14.99 once.

Hi everyone, I'm Sameed. I made Peeka because I kept muting every break reminder I tried. They popped up in the middle of a sentence or a screen share, and after a week I was clicking Skip without reading. So instead of nagging harder, Peeka tries to be easy to keep around. A small ghost sits on your desktop and gets sleepier as the break gets closer, so you see it coming. When it's time, it waits until you stop typing, pulls a dim blanket over the screen, covers its eyes and counts to 20 while you look at something far away. Then it pops out and says boo. What it does that I couldn't find in other break apps: - Holds the break while you're typing, on a call, sharing your screen or presenting - Suggests something different each break, like finding something green far away or tracing a sideways 8 with your eyes - Backs off if you skip twice in a row - Never turns on your camera. No account, no analytics It's free for 7 days with everything on, then $14.99 once, no subscription. If you only want a timer, there's a free 20-20-20 timer in the browser at meetpeeka.com/20-20-20. What would make you keep a break app running instead of quitting it after a week?
