EyeBuddy

🧑‍💻 Why I Built This As someone who spends long hours in front of a screen, I often suffered from dry eyes, irritation, and blurred vision—classic symptoms of digital eye strain. Over time, I realized that I was blinking far less than I should, especially when I was focused on work. I tried setting reminders or using timer apps, but they weren’t really connected to the root problem—my blinking behavior itself. So I built this app for myself first. It uses the camera to track my blink rate in real time, and gently reminds me to blink more when needed. It helps me stay aware of my screen habits and take better care of my eyes—without breaking my workflow. Now, I’m sharing it with others who might be going through the same thing. If you're a developer, student, gamer, or anyone spending hours in front of a screen, I hope this helps you too.
