The challenge

You pick up your phone. Hours disappear.

You open an app for a quick look and end up scrolling much longer than planned. When there is always something new to see, stopping can be difficult. ScreenBreathe helps you set boundaries that make it easier to use your phone more intentionally.

Real-life use cases

Moments ScreenBreathe helps

Small changes for the way you use your phone every day.

You pick up your phone for a quick check and surface much later.

Set a daily limit for the apps that consume more time than you intend. When you reach it, ScreenBreathe blocks access for the rest of the day.

Distracting feeds eat your evenings.

Use Content Blocker to block supported distracting feeds in compatible apps and make it easier to step away from endless scrolling.

You want a quieter phone for a weekend or a stretch of the day.

Use Digital Detox to combine app blocking, website filtering and supported feed blocking for a chosen period of time.

You are not sure where to start.

Start with your Screen Time insights. Check your most-used apps and compare distracting and productive app usage, then choose one habit to work on first.

Your good intentions keep restarting from zero.

Set a daily goal, build a streak and celebrate milestones as you make progress toward more intentional screen habits.

How ScreenBreathe helps

Build better screen habits, one step at a time

Start by seeing where your time goes

Review daily app usage, explore 7-, 15- or 30-day trends and identify your most-used apps. Compare distracting and productive app time to understand where a small change could make a difference.

Basic screen-time stats are free.

Daily limits, not daily battles

Choose a daily limit for an app and let ScreenBreathe enforce that boundary. When the limit is reached, access is blocked for the rest of the day.

Skip the infinite scroll

Block supported distracting feeds inside compatible apps without necessarily blocking the entire app.

Close the browser loophole

Block selected website categories or add your own domains to your blocklist. Website filtering runs locally on your device through a VPN that checks DNS requests.

Quiet your phone for a stretch

Use Digital Detox when you want a break from selected apps, websites and supported feeds. Choose a blocking level that matches how much structure you want during your detox session.

See progress toward your daily focus goal, revisit past sessions and view your focus activity across a 24-hour timeline.

Private by design, clear about permissions

Your screen-time, focus and blocking data stays on your device. We do not run a ScreenBreathe server that receives your app activity or browsing history. ScreenBreathe asks only for the permissions the features you turn on need, and we explain each one on our permissions page.
