About Breaktime: Focus App Blocker

How it works:

- Select the distracting apps you want to block. They stay blocked, 24/7.
- EVERY time you want to unlock these apps, you must set how long you will spend and start a timed break.
- Once your break ends, the apps are automatically blocked again, helping you stay accountable.

Other features designed for focus:

- Before you can start a break there’s a customisable delay for friction, allowing you to pause and reconsider with no bypasses.
- Minimal UI designed as simple as possible to be less stimulating and distracting.
- Lightning-fast setup. You’re ready to go in 30 seconds.
- Strict Mode, where no breaks or bypasses are allowed.
- Travel Mode, automatically unblock apps when you're away from home.
- Scheduling: Setup automatic recurring blocking.
- Set a daily limit goal and stay motivated with streaks.
- Advanced customisations to suit your focus needs.

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.

Good app, update broke it

Loved the app at first, and used it to block Narwhal (Reddit third party app), and the YouTube Chrome page. I was so happy with it that I even paid to be a subscriber even though I’m only blocking two links. Sadly, somehow an update broke it and now can’t block YouTube at all. Not the regular desktop address, or the mobile address. Now I’m stuck doom scrolling YouTube reels again when I wish it was blocked. Pls fix :( I had to unsub since it’s just not working anymore

More accountability

If you make it harder to get breaks like limiting how many you can take in a day that’s would be great you can late a setting where you pick between just trying to get better or hardcore mode where you have a daily limited break.
