EyeRest is a small Windows tray application that helps you follow the 20–20–20 rule for eye health by showing periodic desktop notifications. It runs in the Windows notification area, uses Windows 10/11 toast notifications when available (with a tray balloon fallback), and lets you configure: - Reminder interval (for example every 5–60 minutes) - Whether reminders are enabled - Optional left-click toggle on the tray icon - Optional persistent settings and "Start with Windows" for the current user The app is built w...
What's new in 1.3.0
Highlights EyeRest 1.3.0 focuses on making the app more convenient to use day-to-day by adding optional persistence and an opt-in Start with Windows feature – while keeping the original “session-only” behavior as the default. If you don’t change anything in the Options dialog, EyeRest still works like previous versions: a lightweight tray app that reminds you to follow the 20–20–20 rule. ✨ What’s new ✅ Persistent settings (optional) You can now choose to have EyeRest remember your preferences across sessions: - Added a “Remember my settings for future sessions” checkbox in the Options dialog. - When enabled, EyeRest saves: - Whether reminders are enabled or disabled - The reminder interval (in minutes) - Whether left-click toggles reminders - Whether “Start with Windows” is enabled On the next launch, these values are restored and applied automatically. Storage strategy (portable-first): - EyeRest first tries to store EyeRest.ini next to the executable (nice for portable-style usage). - If the exe folder is not writable (e.g. installed under Program Files via MSI/MSIX), it falls back to: - %APPDATA%\EyeRest\EyeRest.ini If you prefer the old behavior, just leave “Remember my settings” unchecked and EyeRest will continue to work as a per-session app. 🖥️ “Start with Windows” option You can now let EyeRest launch automatically when you sign in to Windows: - New checkbox in Options: - “Start EyeRest automatically with Windows” - When enabled: - EyeRest creates a per-user entry under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run - When disabled: - The entry is removed.
