Doombreak - App Blocker
Stop doomscroll & Reels
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Shield on your Lock Screen — plus filtered YouTube & TikTok without the feeds.
Doombreak helps you stop doomscrolling — block distracting apps for as long as you choose, and use Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok without the feeds that pull you in. Completely free.
Pick any apps you want gone for a while — social, video, news, whatever hooks you. Stay in a timed focus session until it ends. Glance at Shield on your Lock Screen for a live countdown, and tap once to request a mindful unlock when you truly need an app. Go further with filtered mode: Instagram keeps DMs and profiles, YouTube keeps Search and Subscriptions (no Shorts or Home), and TikTok keeps Search and Following (no For You) — all inside Doombreak while the native apps stay blocked. Save app groups for different moments of the day. Set a focus schedule so starting is automatic. Need one app for a real reason? Take a mindful unlock — pause with intent, get a short window, then lock again.
