Blink Detection Software to Reduce Digital Eye Strain

SightKick works in the background to detect a low blink rate to
​halt the progression of 'computer vision syndrome' in its tracks.


After installation and calibration, sit back and relax. SightKick is working!​
SightKick has three modes:
1) Timer: sends a nudge at a specified interval. (Does not require camera).
2) Blinks: sends a real-time nudge when your blink rate is lower than average
3) Both: combo of #1 and #2, whichever occurs first! (recommended mode)
What's a nudge?
A gentle reminder to look 20 feet away, while blinking, for 20 seconds

There are various features you can customize to make SightKick your own. Want a sound to alert you when your 20 seconds is up? Want a smooth, silky voice to dictate the nudge? Maybe you're hardcore, and you want your entire screen covered to force you to take your breaks. 20 minutes too frequent for you? How about 40 minutes? Customize it!
