Rest your eyes before they ask for it.

Why Faro

Long phone sessions are easy to miss.

01

Sessions stretch.

Games, videos, comics, charts — they hold attention longer than you planned, and nothing on the phone calls time.

02

Breaks are forgettable.

The hard part isn't knowing you should look away. It's remembering at the right moment, without adding another habit to track.

03

Timers want attention.

Manual timers don't fit normal phone use. Faro runs underneath whatever you're doing and only surfaces when it matters.

How it works

Choose a rhythm. Keep using your phone.

Faro keeps track of long screen-on stretches instead of asking you to start and stop a timer yourself. Its rhythm is inspired by the widely recommended 20-20-20 rule for easing digital eye strain: every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

STEP 01

Pick a preset for the kind of day you're having.

Gentle, Balanced, or Firm. Each preset tunes On Screen, Rest, and Silence timing so cues fit your session weight. Pro users can fine-tune every value.

STEP 02

Keep using your phone exactly the way you already do.

Faro follows continuous screen-on time in the background. Short checks below your threshold don't count — there's nothing to start, stop, or remember.

STEP 03

Follow a soft cue when a real rest moment appears.

A short overlay slides in over the app you're using. Look away, snooze once, or end the session naturally — Faro logs the response and keeps quiet.

Features

Built for rhythm, not interruption.

Core behavior

A gentle cue that meets you inside other apps.

The reminder appears on top of whatever you're using — not in a separate screen you have to open. Short, calm, never an alarm.

Presets

Gentle. Balanced. Firm.

Three rhythms tuned for light, default, and heavy days. Customize On Screen, Rest, and Silence Time when you want finer control.

Rest Rhythm

A score, not a grade.

A practical signal of how consistently you respond when a real rest moment shows up.

Records

A quiet weekly recap.

Screen load, longest session, completed rests, and snoozes — recorded, never dramatized.

App-level insight

Off until you opt in.

Faro stores no app package names for insights unless you turn the feature on yourself.
