WinEyeCare is a free Windows app that reminds you to take regular eye breaks while working. It follows the **20-20-20 rule**, so every 20 minutes you get a short break reminder, and every 2 hours a longer one.

## Installation

1. Download the latest release from the [Releases](https://github.com/dincertekin/wineyecare/releases/latest) page.

2. Extract and run `WinEyeCare.exe` — no installation required.

## Usage

- The app runs silently in the background and appears in the system tray.

- Double-click the tray icon to access settings and customize break intervals and startup preferences.

## Troubleshooting

If the app does not appear in the system tray, your tray may be hiding icons. Go to **Windows Taskbar Settings** and make sure WinEyeCare is set to always show.
