Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

'Stare Away' is an app which sends you a notification when you are continously staring at your screen for a long time.The optimum time to take a break and stop STARING at your mobile screen can be set by you and all I care is for your eyes not to be strained.Medical research says that staring at your mobile screens continously for long periods of time leads to blurred vision,eye strain and other long-term vision problems.This app will be useful to avoid that.In lieu of the recent lockdown and being restricted to our houses most of the time I encountered this particular problem.I was most of the time stuck staring at my smartphone screens for a very long period of time continously.This caused me to have a eye strain.So I thought this would be the problem with most of us.There-by I developed this app so that you dont stare at your smartphone screen too much by getting regular notifications as you are staring at your mobile screen too much.You get to choose how often do you want to be notified though I recommend that for every 20 minutes of time you take a break of 30seconds or 1 minutes and reduce your eye strain.Please do share this message and app with your friendsand family members for their good vision.

Stare Away APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Stare Away APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 6219c82c3cd7c9a07396a552e105371b.
