Chirp
Free, cross-platform eye care for people who stare at screens all day.
---
Chirp reminds you to take breaks, blink, and fix your posture using the **20-20-20 rule**: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Unlike other break reminder apps, Chirp works across all your devices, pauses itself when you're in meetings, and never phones home with your data.
## Install
```bash
# macOS
brew install --cask chirp
# Windows
winget install chirp
# Linux
snap install chirp
```
Or download the latest release from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/anthropics/chirp/releases).
