I’m working on LookAway (https://lookaway.app) to help people stay healthier and more productive during prolonged screen time.

My main challenge has been making meeting detection more robust -- it currently uses both mic and camera activity, which led to a lot of false positives. In the next version I’m switching to mic only (the camera caused most of the noise) and I’ve added a way to identify which app is using the mic, so users can exclude non-meeting apps.

I’ve also added plenty of small tweaks throughout to make LookAway even less interruptive. I’m excited for the next release!
