About this app
Blink watches for continuous, unbroken phone use and interrupts it with a full-screen reminder — right on top of whatever app you're using.
HOW IT WORKS
Set an interval. Once you'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.
Lock your phone, and the clock resets. A real break wipes the slate clean.
EIGHT PERSONALITIES
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.
SMART ALERT
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.
REAL INSIGHTS
See your actual screen time — by day, week, or month — pulled directly from your phone's own tracking. No separate account, no setup.
RESPECTS WHAT MATTERS
Calls, video meetings, and navigation never trigger a reminder. Blink knows the difference between doomscrolling and actually needing your phone.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No cloud. No data collection of any kind. Everything happens entirely on your device.
