How to open the app

20-20-20 for Mac is an independent app that isn't notarized by Apple, so macOS asks you to approve it once. It takes about a minute.

  1. 1

    Move the app to Applications and open it

    Open the downloaded file and drag 20-20-20 for Mac into your Applications folder, then double-click it. macOS will show a warning. Click Done (not Move to Trash).

  2. 2

    Open System Settings and allow the app

    Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to the Security section, and click Open Anyway next to "20-20-20 for Mac".

  3. 3

    Confirm with Open Anyway

    A final prompt appears. Click Open Anyway, then enter your Mac password or use Touch ID. You only do this once.

  4. 4

    Find it in your menu bar

    Look for the eye icon at the top right of your screen. Click it to pause, take a break now, or reset the timer. There is no Dock icon by design.
