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.

UPDATE: This is nice and all, but if you’re using Windows 10, you have to use the Microsoft Store. Why. I think this is the first time I’ve seen an open-source product needing MS Store to install. Windows 10 LTSC, for instance, doesn’t ship with the MS Store and other junk (thank god), so you’d better hope you’re not using that.
