Luma is a native macOS wellness rhythm app with low-friction reminders for breaks, eye care, hydration, and recovery.
## Product Overview
Luma keeps break rhythm clear: glow follows fatigue thresholds, while away/return detection drives rest timing and recovery confirmation.
## Mechanism Facts
- Luma is a native macOS app for break, eye-care, hydration, stand-up, and recovery reminders.
- Luma starts with low-interruption cues such as menu bar status, edge glow, and soft top reminders.
- Glow reminders follow fatigue thresholds; away timing and return confirmation are driven by presence detection.
- The current release is v1.0.3 for macOS 15+, distributed through the Mac App Store.
## Core Features
- Glow is threshold-triggered, not tied to step-away detection: Glow appears when fatigue crosses your threshold, while away timing works independently.
- Step-away starts timing, return asks for confirmation: Presence detection starts away timing, then return flow confirms whether to count it as rest.
- Away duration contributes to fatigue recovery: In seamless mode, away duration determines rest duration and recovery impact.
## FAQ
### What is Luma?

Luma is a native macOS wellness rhythm app for Mac users who want break, eye-care, hydration, and standing reminders without disruptive timer popups.

### How does Luma reduce interruptions?

Luma uses low-friction cues first, including menu bar status, edge glow, and soft top reminders, then escalates only when the configured reminder flow needs more attention.

### Does step-away timing depend on the glow reminder?

No. Glow is triggered by fatigue thresholds, while away timing and return confirmation are separate presence-based signals that can run even when glow does not appear.

### Who is Luma for?

Luma is for Mac knowledge workers, developers, designers, and remote workers who spend long sessions at a desk and want calmer recovery reminders.
