LookAway 2.4.11 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesLookAway is a break reminder for Mac that helps your eyes, neck and back survive long days at the screen. It schedules short and long breaks, reminds you to blink, and nudges you about posture. What makes it pleasant to live with is the timing. LookAway waits for a good moment, warns you before a break starts, and holds off while you are busy, so breaks become a habit you keep rather than a timer you fight.
Key Features
- Short and long screen breaks with a gentle warning and snooze options before each one
- Smart Pause holds breaks during meetings, calls, screen recording, video and full screen games
- Separate blink reminders and posture nudges that run apart from full breaks
- Planned Breaks sit at a fixed time of day, such as lunch or an afternoon walk
- Breaks sync to iPhone and iPad through the free LookAway Mirror companion app
How to Download
- Download from the official site to get the current Mac build and start the trial.
- Open the downloaded file and move LookAway into your Applications folder.
- Launch the app, set your break lengths and intervals, and let it run from the menu bar.
System Requirements
LookAway needs macOS 13 or later and runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. The Mirror companion app runs on iPhone and iPad if you want your breaks to follow you away from the desk.
FAQs
Will LookAway interrupt my meetings?
No. Smart Pause spots meetings, calls, recordings and video playback and delays the break until you are free, then resumes the schedule.
Is LookAway a subscription?
The direct version is a single purchase that you pay once. It is also sold through the Mac App Store and Setapp, where pricing can differ.
Does LookAway work on my iPhone too?
Yes, through LookAway Mirror. When a Mac break starts, the break syncs to your phone or tablet so you do not just swap one screen for another.
