Most eye-care tools do one job. Some filter blue light, others remind you to take a break. Eye Guardian brings the filter, screen dimmer, break reminders, guided exercises and a stats dashboard together in a single browser extension. You may know it on the Chrome and Firefox stores as Screen Dimmer. Here is how it stacks up.

Streaks and a weekly protection dashboard turn eye care into a habit you can actually keep, not a reminder you learn to ignore.
Most free tools do one thing. f.lux and Screen Shader filter blue light, eyeCare and Break Timer remind you to take breaks. Eye Guardian is free to install and brings the blue-light filter, screen dimmer, break reminders, guided eye exercises and a protection-stats dashboard together in one extension.
A warm filter helps in the evening, but eye strain also comes from staring without breaks and from screens that are too bright. That is why Eye Guardian pairs the filter with break reminders based on the 20-20-20 rule, screen dimming and short guided exercises.
