24 alternatives to Headjust
I work long hours with headphones on, and I kept running into the same pattern: I’d start a session feeling fine, then a couple hours later I’d realize I’d been leaning forward or holding my head in one position without noticing. Not because I was trying to. Just because focus has a way of quietly rearranging you. I tried a few “reminder” style approaches and apps, but they didn’t stick. The problem wasn’t motivation. It was awareness. I didn’t want an app telling me what to do. I wanted something that simply showed me what was happening, in the moment, with zero friction. So I built…

LookAway 2▲281Hello, I'm Kushagra and I am the indie developer behind LookAway (I've posted about it earlier but it has received quite a lot of updates since the last time so I am posting it again). LookAway is a native break reminder for macOS that doesn't interrupt. I built it because I work from home and I spend a lot of time in front of my screens.

The solution to this was simply taking enough breaks throughout the day. But…

In 2019, I experienced eye soreness and back pain for a while because I was constantly working long hours in front of my 16 inch Macbook without any rest. I decided to do something to change that. I’m not a fan of Apple Watch or smartbands. So the first thing I did was looking for some reminder software to remind me to take a break in the App Store, but none of them were smart enough for my needs. I wish the software could automatically tell if I was working, rather than requiring me to manually set an alarm. At the same time, when I go to the bathroom or drink coffee, it can automatically…
