Why it exists

Passive reminders are easy to dismiss during focused work. VisionGuard creates an intentional desktop break experience with clear recovery and scientifically careful guidance—without overstating health outcomes.

Selected technical and operational details are intentionally omitted.

Advanced capabilities

Complexity, made useful.

Multi-display overlays

Coordinate a focused break experience across connected displays.

Resilient timing

Recover focus cycles sensibly after sleep, interruption, or relaunch.

Native controls

Bring timer state to the menu bar, notifications, settings, and widgets.

Local habit insights

Keep completed and skipped-break history on the device for core use.

Engineering principles

Designed, built, and tested around trust.

Scientifically careful language

Local-first core behavior

Accessible recovery paths

Delivery evidence

What the public claim is based on.

The macOS codebase includes modular timer, scheduling, overlay, settings, education, purchase, and test foundations. Companion connectivity remains staged work.

Status is intentionally conservative and does not imply that every planned feature is released on every platform.
