A lightweight Windows companion that quietly reminds you to rest your eyes, run guided blink exercises, and fix your posture — backed by real research.
What it does
Dry eye comes down to how — and how often — you blink. BlinkMate folds the research-backed habits into your day without getting in the way.
Follow a full routine with on-screen steps and a soft audio cue for each movement — so you can keep your eyes closed and just listen. Based on the Arita blink-exercise protocol.
A 20-20-20 micro-break every 20 minutes, a longer break each hour, and the full blink routine every couple of hours. Every interval is yours to adjust.
Long screen sessions pull your head forward. Quick, science-backed exercises — chin tucks, wall angels, and stretches — help undo it.
Rate how your eyes feel each day and see it graphed against the exercises you've done. Export everything to CSV whenever you like.
BlinkMate lives in your system tray with gentle reminder sounds. It stays quiet during fullscreen apps and pauses when you step away.
Adjust intervals, sounds, snooze options, and which routines run. Set it up once and it works the way you do.
