Manifesto
Break the dopamine loop and win back hours of your day.
Nobody decides to spend three hours in the feed. It happens on autopilot: in line, at the red light, in bed, mid-conversation.
With Break, you take back control before you scroll. It's not about willpower. It's about putting ten seconds of awareness between the impulse and the app.
- Reclaim your time.
- Win an hour back.
- Sleep on time.
- Own your time.
- Be fully present.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can Break see what I do on my phone?
No. Break uses Apple's Screen Time, which runs on your iPhone. We have no access to the content of your apps, messages, or browsing history.
What data do you store?
Only what your Break account needs: your email and blocking preferences, so they sync. We never sell or share your data.
How does blocking work?
You pick apps in Apple's picker. When you try to open one, Break's screen appears with a short challenge. Once you finish, the app opens briefly and then goes back to blocked.
How much does Break PRO cost?
Break PRO costs $49.99 per year, about $4.17 per month. The subscription renews annually.
I already subscribed. How do I restore it?
Open Break and sign in with the same method you used to create your account: Google, Apple, or email and password. If you forgot your password, tap "Forgot password" and reset it. Note: it's the email on your Break account, not the email used for the Stripe payment.
Does it work on my iPhone?
Break works on iPhones running iOS 16 or later.
