Glance 1.0.0

The first release of Glance: a calm 20-20-20 eye-break reminder that lives in the menu bar.

What it does

• Every 20 minutes of screen time, Glance offers a 20-second break on a soft green horizon, light by day and dark at night.
• Return starts the break, Esc skips it. Untouched, it starts on its own.
• Smart Pause holds breaks while your camera is on, while you present or share your screen, and while apps you choose are in front. The held break comes after the call.
• 5 more minutes, or Pause for 1 hour from the menu bar.
• Under 1% of a core while you work. No permissions needed.
