How this timer works

6 rounds of Screen time (20 min), with Look far away (20 sec) between them. Every 2 rounds the break is Stand and stretch (2 min) instead. A clear voice reads each step's cue as it begins; every cue is written out below. There is no ticking. The last five seconds of every step are counted out loud. A chime marks each change of step. It closes with “Time's up.”
