Eye Blinker is a Chrome extension designed to reduce eye strain and computer vision syndrome by reminding users to follow the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, look away at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. By encouraging regular breaks, it helps alleviate symptoms like dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and redness caused by prolonged screen time.

The extension offers customizable reminders, one-click enable/disable, and detects computer inactivity to work only when you’re active at your system. It's an essential tool for computer professionals seeking to maintain eye health and prevent discomfort associated with intense digital device use. Incorporating Eye Blinker into your routine promotes better vision, reduces fatigue, and supports overall wellness during extended computer work sessions.

Shady. This extension does not work. I almost forgot I even had this extension. When I looked for the web permissions, it has allowed payment handlers and third party sign in on. I don't know how it even ended up with the tag of "featured" - they are obviously upto something wrong. Please don't install it.

Thank you very much for this app very useful

Honestly wonderful for a student in long distance. I don't suffer from eye strain but occasional reminders to get my eyes off the screen really help clear the mind. May I suggest adding a way to see how much time is left until the next reminder? It would come in handy for fellow scatterbrains like me, I tend to miss a lot of very obvious things like reminders.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Eye Blinker requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Eye Blinker is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this extension.
