iPhone / iPad Sync

Sync your breaks between your Mac and iPhone or iPad

LookAway Mirror

The LookAway Mirror app for the iPhone and the iPad lets you sync your Mac breaks to the paired devices. Whenever your Mac goes on a break, the LookAway Mirror app blocks all websites and non-essential apps on these devices to prevent you from picking them up during breaks.

Set-up

To set up LookAway Mirror, first make sure you're running LookAway 1.14.0 or later on your Mac, and that you have downloaded LookAway Mirror on your iPhone or iPad.

On the Mac

Open LookAway Settings on your Mac, and navigate to the iPhone / iPad Sync page. From there, click on the "Pair a new device" button to see the pairing code.
