"CareUEyes"---Protect Your Eyes when Using a Computer
« on: July 05, 2017, 09:11 AM »
Last month, I developed a program named ---“CareUEyes”  what  i hope my eyes take a rest every one hour and  dim my screen make it looks more comfortable,
but no program can help me,so i developed it.

CareUEyes not only remind you to take a rest but also adjust the computer screen color temperature、filter the blue light (like IPhone’s NightShift)
i hope this will be helpful for you

CareUEyes is a little free application

Hi!
thanks for share your app.

I actually use f.lux for this. Why your program (in your opinion) is better.

The time between breaks is only time transcurred or the program detect actual activity from the user?

CareUEyes is easy for use,i remove the sunsets setting,because we often turn on the light when using a computer ,it's not necessary.
What can we do to protect our eyes when working for long in front of a computer?take a break every one hour,it's useful for our eyes 8)

so far I like this program.  I have found it only locks 1 of 2 screens on my system.  my preference would be to lock both screens. 

Is careueyes supposed to work on multiple monitor systems?

I have my displays set to sleep after 1 hour.  Since installing careyoureyes they have not been sleeping.  I tried to set careyoureyes reset setting to 65 minutes to see if that would allow them to sleep but the max setting is 60.  But that kinda defeats the purpose of the program.

Can the program check to see if there is keyboard or mouse activity, if not then it would allow the displays to sleep?

I think it did mess with the sleep settings

I turned off careueyes last night and it did sleep.  the display sleep settings were at 60 minutes.  To night I will set the sleep to 65 minutes, leave careueyes enabled and see what happens.
