Connect IQ app · free

Your watch reminds you to look far.

During your work hours, LookFar gives a short buzz every 30 minutes. Look away from the screen for 15–20 seconds, then go back to work.

How it works

Three steps, and you don't need your phone.

01 · set

Pick your work hours

Reminders come only inside the hours you set. The default interval is 30 minutes, and you can change it.

02 · buzz

Feel the buzz, look away

The watch vibrates. Look at something far away for 15–20 seconds while the countdown runs on your wrist.

03 · check in

Say how your eyes feel

After the break, rate how tired your eyes feel. It takes one tap.

Your day on the wrist

See the habit form.

Open Today on the watch: every break of the work day is a square. Green is done, red is skipped, grey is missed. Below it you see how much you did and your current streak.

Nothing to sync, and nothing to sign up for.

Take one break right now.

Press start, then look at something at least 6 metres (20 feet) away: a window, a far wall, a tree outside. Come back when the ring closes.

Want to try it first?

I'm looking for people who work at a screen to use it for a week and tell me what got in the way. Write to me and I'll reply myself:

Questions

Before you install

Will it buzz during my meetings?

It buzzes only inside the work hours you set. In this version it doesn't detect meetings. If a buzz comes at a bad moment, cancel the break. The Today screen shows it as skipped, not missed.

Which watches does it support?

The main current Garmin models that support Connect IQ apps. The store page will have the full list.

Does it use my heart rate or other sensors?

No. LookFar uses only a timer and vibration. It doesn't depend on your movement, sleep or workouts.

Is it free?

Yes, the app is free. It has no purchases, ads or account.

Is this a medical app?

No. LookFar is a break reminder. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If something about your eyes worries you, see an eye care professional.

Where is my data?

Only your break history (done, skipped, missed) and your settings, and they stay on your watch. Nothing is sent to us. Details are on the privacy page.
