Mindful Breaker

About this app

Do you ever pick up your phone just to "check the weather" and find yourself doom-scrolling social media an hour later? We've all been there. It’s not your fault - apps are designed to be addictive.

Mindful Breaker is not just another app blocker. It’s your pause button. Instead of locking you out completely, it helps you build a healthier relationship with your phone. It gives you that split second of awareness to ask yourself: "Do I really need to see this right now?"

How it works: When you try to open a distracting app, Mindful Breaker gently pauses you. It invites you to take a breath and set an intention. You stay in control - you can still enter, but you do it consciously, not out of habit.

Key Features:

• 🧠 Conscious Entry - Before opening a blocked app, choose why you are doing it (Boredom? Anxiety? Work?). Understanding your triggers is the first step to freedom.

• ⏱️ Intentional Sessions & Awareness - Decide how much time you need (e.g., 2 min, 10 min). Once the time is up, the app reminds you to leave. Prefer an open session? Choose "No Timer" - we will still send gentle periodic notifications (e.g., "15 min passed") so you never lose track of time again.

• 🎚️ Soft vs. Strict Mode - Tailor the discipline to your needs.

• Soft Mode: Warns you when you exceed your daily limit but lets you enter if you really need to.

• Strict Mode: For when willpower isn't enough. Entry buttons disappear, leaving only a "Life Buoy" emergency option (with a 60s penalty wait).

• 📅 Focus Mode (Schedule) - Define your productive hours (e.g., 9:00–17:00). During this time, distracting apps are automatically blocked to keep you in the zone.

• 🌬️ Breath & Focus - A built-in breathing animation helps you calm down and break the dopamine loop before you start scrolling.

• 📊 Insightful Stats - See not just how much time you spend, but why. Track your "Mindful Streak" and analyze your habits over the last 7 days.

• 🌙 Sleep Mode - Protect your circadian rhythm. Automatically block distractions during your bedtime and morning routine to ensure restful sleep.

• 👶 Kids Mode - A dedicated mode for parents. Set a hard time limit protected by a PIN code. No mindful pauses, just a simple stop when time runs out.
