Extension summary

Due to COVID-19 situation, most schools are forced to go virtual, including my high school. This forces everyone to spend more time on a screen than normal. Over the last few weeks of school, me and my friends noticed that our eyes hurt during zoom calls. Because of this, I have created a chrome extension for not just me, but for all students to use as a reminder to look away from their screen for few seconds to reduce eye strain.

Great simple to use and easy extension. Now my sight will last 5 months instead of 2 weeks.

I love this extension- I've been looking at my laptop 7 hours a day because of covid, and this app really helps me remind myself to take a break every so often. I've been using it for a while now and I used to have really bad headaches but now they're less intense.
