Screen Time - Break Check
No app blocking needed
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
WHY CHOOSE BREAK CHECK?
Blocking apps sound good in theory. In practice, you turn them off the moment they get in the way and then feel worse about it.
Break Check takes a different approach. Instead of cutting off your access, it builds awareness. You see exactly how long you've been on, get a nudge when your session ends, and choose what to do next. Over time, that awareness is what actually changes behavior. No locked-out screens, no workarounds, no shame spiral. Just a clearer picture of your habits and the tools to improve them.
PERFECT FOR:
— Doomscrolling: Break the scroll trap. Automatically starts and stops when you open or close your social media apps.
— Bedtime Wind-Downs: Protect your sleep with a late-night screen limit that kicks off automatically at a time you set each night.
— Binge Watching: Keep your streaming sessions intentional so "just one more episode" doesn't quietly turn into three hours.
— Gaming: Track exactly how long your sessions run across mobile, console, or PC and set limits that actually stick.
— Working Out: Log your gym time effortlessly. Starts when you arrive, stops when you leave.
— Shopping: Track how long you're browsing, in-store or online, and stay in control of your time and your wallet.
— Bathroom Breaks: Even five minutes in the bathroom deserves a limit. Launch instantly from your Action Button or Control Center.
SESSION-BASED TRACKING
Set a session length and a daily goal for any habit. Your time is broken into real sessions, not just a daily total, so you can see exactly when you used your phone and for how long. Pause and resume anytime, right where you left off.
AUTOMATIC START & STOP
Using the Shortcuts app, your timers can start and stop automatically when you open or close an app, arrive at or leave a location, or at a scheduled time each day. Setup takes less than a minute.
NUDGES, NOT BLOCKS
When your session ends, you get a gentle notification and your timer starts counting up with no hard cutoffs. Need a little more time? Just tap to extend. For habits that need a firmer boundary, you can switch to a full alarm instead.
GUILT-FREE BREAKS
Waiting at the DMV? Long commute? Snooze all your timers whenever phone time is unavoidable. No streaks broken, no pressure.
STATS THAT ACTUALLY HELP
See where your time went today, spot patterns in when you reach for your phone, and track your progress toward your daily goal, all in one place.
Stop watching hours disappear. Start noticing them before they do.
Break Check is free to try. A subscription unlocks full alarm alerts, the snooze timer, and unlimited habit tracking, everything you need to build a routine that actually lasts.
