ScreenBreak – Adds effort to app access to reduce mindless scrolling

Summary: ScreenBreak reduces app addiction by requiring users to complete quick challenges before accessing distracting apps. It offers flexible blocking methods and detailed screen-time insights to help users manage and understand their usage patterns.

What it does

ScreenBreak activates soft blocks through scheduled times, app launch limits, or usage budgets, prompting users to complete challenges like tapping, shaking, or drawing to gain temporary access. It also provides hourly and weekly screen-time reports.

Who it's for

It is designed for users seeking to control unconscious, excessive app use without fully blocking access to apps they sometimes need.

Why it matters

By adding effort before app access, ScreenBreak helps interrupt automatic scrolling habits while allowing intentional use, balancing control and flexibility.
