## Description

Blink watches for continuous, unbroken phone use and interrupts it with a full-screen reminder — right on top of whatever app you&#39;re using.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br>Set an interval. Once you&#39;ve been using your phone continuously past that time, Blink takes over the screen with a reminder to look away. Ignore it, and the next one lasts longer — up to a cap, so it never feels like punishment, just a nudge that gets harder to miss.<br><br>Lock your phone, and the clock resets. A real break wipes the slate clean.<br><br>EIGHT PERSONALITIES<br>Choose the tone that actually gets through to you — calm and mindful, blunt and commanding, playful, dramatic, or downright sharp. Preview any style before committing.<br><br>SMART ALERT<br>Want reminders that hold the screen until you actually acknowledge them, rather than fading on their own? Smart Alert is a stricter mode for when you need real accountability.<br><br>REAL INSIGHTS<br>See your actual screen time — by day, week, or month — pulled directly from your phone&#39;s own tracking. No separate account, no setup.<br><br>RESPECTS WHAT MATTERS<br>Calls, video meetings, and navigation never trigger a reminder. Blink knows the difference between doomscrolling and actually needing your phone.<br><br>PRIVATE BY DESIGN<br>No account. No cloud. No data collection of any kind. Everything happens entirely on your device.
