I’ve featured Safe Eyes for Linux before so this one is for Windows users. We read more and more about blue light filters (and it also being recently debunked) to avoid eye strain, but the most important preventions are taking forced breaks every 20 minutes, not sitting too close to the screen, having correct eye focus, and not having the brightness set too high.
Eyes Guard will allow you to enable forced breaks. Another good alternative for Windows (not open source) is called Eye Saver which in addition has anti flicker and blue light filter options too.

I was looking for this for a long time, I don’t understand why isn’t already part of OSs within the wellbeing settings. Thanks for making this and for making it free
Yes is pretty odd - many OS’s got hooked on filtering out blue light, but that really does nothing for eye strain from prolonged screen use - they needed the take a break functionality.
Everything that tech with screen does is in the line of using it more and for longer periods of time, so maybe that’s why
