À propos de l'application

Need a break? Press Break now and your scroll apps close for 30 minutes, an hour, two, or as long as you choose. A big countdown shows when they open again.

Or schedule breaks ahead of time, like an alarm clock the other way round: Sleep 23:00-07:00 every day, Work 09:00-13:00 Sunday to Thursday, Family dinner 19:00-20:30. They run with the app closed, and a heads-up comes 5 minutes before if you want one. During a break, the minutes you earned wait: the break wins.

The rest of the day, the apps you choose get 10 minutes.

When the minutes run out, the apps close and the block screen says one thing: Do something! Then you earn more time by doing exactly that.

- 10 push-ups = 5 more minutes. The camera counts them on your phone. Nothing is recorded or sent.
- 1,000 steps = 5 minutes.
- A 20-minute focus block, 15 minutes of reading or two minutes of breathing also count.

Every time you open one of your scroll apps, you decide how much to spend: 2, 5 or 10 minutes. When you leave early, the rest stays in your wallet.

Every Sunday you get a Time Receipt: what you earned, what you spent, and how much time you took back. Share it as an image if you want to.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Your app usage stays on your phone. We never see it.
- The camera frames are processed on the phone and dropped. Nothing is recorded.
- No account, no ads, no contacts.

PLANS
Free to start: your first earned minutes are on us. To keep the 10-minute rule running, choose a plan: weekly $3.99, monthly $9.99 or yearly $39.99, each with a 7-day free trial if your account is eligible. 7 days free, then $39.99/year. Cancel anytime. These are US prices; the store shows your local price before you confirm.
Payment is charged to your Google account when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your account settings.
Without a plan, nothing stays blocked.

I Need a Break uses Usage access to see which app is open, and Display over other apps to show the block screen. This data stays on your phone.

Nouveautés

Breaks are clearer now. Before a break starts you see which apps close and until when. A red bar with the countdown sits on every tab, the notification shows the time left with a Stop button, and a heads-up comes 5 minutes before the end. A browser is closed only if you say yes. The back button steps back inside the app.
