What is Tweny?

Tweny is a focus timer built specifically for people who spend long hours in front of screens. It combines the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds—with the Pomodoro technique. Each work interval ends with a proper eye break, so you stay productive without sacrificing your vision. The app is available on iPhone and Apple Watch, with features like Live Activities, health tips from professionals, and gamified progress tracking through badges, streaks, and 12 levels.

Who it's for

• Remote workers and developers – Anyone glued to a screen for 7+ hours daily who needs a structured way to prevent eye strain and digital fatigue.
• Health-conscious professionals – People who want to protect their long-term vision while maintaining high productivity, without relying on guesswork or willpower alone.
• Gamification enthusiasts – Users who stay motivated by earning badges, building streaks, and progressing through levels as they build healthier screen habits.

Key features

Live Activities and Apple Watch app

Tweny keeps your eye break reminders visible right on your lock screen and wrist. Live Activities show your current timer status without needing to open the app, and the Apple Watch app lets you start, pause, or complete breaks directly from your watch.

Health tips from professionals

The app includes guidance from eye care professionals to help you understand why the 20-20-20 rule works and how to optimize your screen habits. These tips are woven into the experience so you learn as you go.

Badges, streaks, and 12 levels

Tweny turns eye care into a rewarding challenge. You earn badges for consistency, build streaks by completing breaks on schedule, and progress through 12 levels that unlock as you protect your eyes day after day.

What stands out

Tweny is the first focus timer that treats eye breaks as seriously as work intervals.

Most productivity timers ignore eye health entirely, or leave it as an afterthought. Tweny makes the 20-20-20 rule a core part of every work session, not a separate reminder you can dismiss. By pairing Pomodoro with structured vision breaks, it addresses a real physical cost of screen time that other tools overlook.

Worth checking out if…

You spend 7+ hours daily on screens and have noticed eye floaters, headaches, or blurry vision. Tweny is especially useful if you've tried generic Pomodoro timers but found they don't protect your eyes—or if you want a simple, gamified way to build a lasting eye care habit. It's also a strong fit for Apple Watch users who want glanceable break reminders without pulling out their phone.
