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.

Accessibility Service: Breaktime uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect when a blocked app opens in the foreground, so it can immediately show the block screen. This is essential to Breaktime's core app-blocking functionality. Breaktime does not read screen content, collect keystrokes, or access any personal data through this service only the name of the app currently in the foreground is checked against your blocked list.
