Breakly: Screen Time Limit

You don't need a harder lock. You need a break your body can accept.

Breakly is a screen time app for iPhone built for the moment you are already scrolling. Instead of locking the whole day or adding a delay before every app opens, it interrupts the scroll loop with short, acceptable breaks, so awareness and self-control come back.

How it works: - Mini breaks snap you out before "one more swipe" wins. - Long breaks let the urge fade when you are stuck deep in a feed. - Day or night. The same rhythm works on the couch or in bed, and a break can be scheduled in advance for the bedtime scroll. - Optional Strict Mode. When you want a firmer guardrail, distracting apps stay locked until the break ends. Essentials stay available through a whitelist, and Emergency Skip gives one real exception per day. - Visible progress. Track bedtime and unlocks so you can see change over time.

Breakly uses iOS Screen Time controls to block apps during a break, which is why it is iPhone and iPad only for now. Free to download with a free version covering mini and long breaks; an optional subscription (with a free trial) unlocks app whitelisting, custom reset intervals, a daily emergency skip in Strict Mode and scheduled auto-start.
