Breaktime: Focus App Blocker
Stricter Screen Time Control.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The stricter solution to mindless scrolling.
How it works:
- Select the distracting apps you want to block. They stay blocked, 24/7.
- EVERY time you want to unlock these apps, you must set how long you will spend and start a timed break.
- Once your break ends, the apps are automatically blocked again, helping you stay accountable.
Other features designed for focus:
- Before you can start a break there’s a customisable delay for friction, allowing you to pause and reconsider with no bypasses.
- Minimal UI designed as simple as possible to be less stimulating and distracting.
- Lightning-fast setup. You’re ready to go in 30 seconds.
- Strict Mode, where no breaks or bypasses are allowed.
- Travel Mode, automatically unblock apps when you're away from home.
- Scheduling: Setup automatic recurring blocking.
- Set a daily limit goal and stay motivated with streaks.
- Advanced customisations to suit your focus needs.
- No data collection
In a world where apps do everything they can now to keep you scrolling, Breaktime is designed to give you back control. It takes a different approach, believing that being intentional with your downtime and deciding how long you want to spend on an app beforehand is essential to digital wellbeing. It’s built for the people who value their focus, productivity, and time away from your phone.
