#2Is there a story behind this? I expected something based on the title.

#3I solved my eye strain by dimming my screen, putting a screen protector and using sun glasses. The sun glasses part sounds a bit silly and I probably should use real "hacker" glasses but they seem to work fine. I'm not sure exactly is there UV light that the glasses are blocking or is just the regular light that causes my eyes, after a long session of programming, to get blurry.
But anyway this setup has really reduced my eye strain and I also fall asleep easier.
EDIT: And to be exact, I had all of the sudden serious eye strain at the time when I started using these. Somehow it had gotten to a point where I couldn't even look at the screen anymore without my head hurting. And I'm still relatively young with normally a good eye sight so do not take these things for granted!

#4Workrave is the best app of this kind, been using it for the last few years; is annoying as hell, but works

blue light filtering glasses are quite effective and might be more convenient than using sunglasses, which I also used to do

Are they really? I have been debating if to get some but I have read in quite a few places[1] that they are not really useful and so I'm really wondering how much is truth and how much is marketing.

I bought them and didn't notice any difference. I think they may not filter enough, since I don't notice a real change in tint.
What helped me a little bit is changing to a VA panel. They have higher contrast, so you can lower the backlight brightness and still see well.

#8The app looks like something worth a shot if one looks for a software like that, but this post looks like a cheap ad.
edit: Previous title for this post was "I solved my eye strain with this free app " ;)

#967mb vs 168mb on windows
Why the difference?
Why so big for such simple app?
Electron?

I bought UV blocking glasses and the purchase has been a life-saver.
Like the GP I had serious eye-strain issues that caused headaches and photosensitivity. The new glasses eliminated the issues almost entirely.
I am not 100% sure though if this is caused by the filter or by my previous pair being really bad.
