ScreenBreathe use case
A study focus app that blocks distractions on Android
Study sessions work when your phone stays out of the way. ScreenBreathe blocks the apps, sites and feeds that pull you away, then shows you how your focus builds day after day.
Study Mode is free · Sign-in optional · Your screen-time data stays on your device
Your phone keeps pulling you away from studying
A quick check turns into twenty minutes. A short break becomes an hour of scrolling. It is not always easy to stop when distractions are one tap away. ScreenBreathe helps you set boundaries before you start studying, so you can give your attention to the chapter in front of you.
Moments ScreenBreathe helps
Common study distractions, with practical ways to manage them.
You sit down to revise and your phone starts buzzing.
Start a Study Mode session and block the apps that distract you. Keep your attention on revision without the temptation to switch to a social feed.
A study break turns into an hour of scrolling.
Use Content Blocker to block supported distracting feeds, and plan your breaks so a few minutes of rest do not turn into another long scroll.
It is exam week and you keep quitting early.
Choose a PIN-protected Deep block to add an extra step before ending your session early.
You study on your phone and the browser keeps tempting you.
Block distracting website categories or specific domains, so switching from an app to the browser is less tempting.
You feel like you studied a lot, but you are not sure.
Review your past focus sessions, explore your 24-hour focus timeline and check your streak to see how consistently you are making time to study.
Build a study routine with fewer distractions
Start studying in seconds
Choose Study Mode, select the apps you want to block and set your session length. Your selected distractions stay blocked while the session is active.
Study your way with focus modes
Choose a countdown for a planned study block, a stopwatch for open-ended revision, or Pomodoro to alternate focused work with short breaks.
Choose how strict to be
Start with Gentle reminders, use Focus blocks for regular study sessions, or choose PIN-protected Deep blocks when you want an extra barrier against ending a session early.
Block the whole distraction path
Distractions can move from apps to websites and feeds. Block selected apps and websites, then use Content Blocker to block supported feeds inside compatible apps.
Cap the apps you cannot quit
Set a daily limit for the apps that take up too much of your time. When the limit is reached, ScreenBreathe blocks access for the rest of the day.
Calls and emergencies still get through
Essential apps such as Phone, Dialer, Contacts, SMS and Clock are excluded from normal blocking rules, helping you stay reachable while you study.
See your study habit grow
Focus is easier to keep when you can see it building.
Review your focus insights
See how close you are to your daily focus goal, revisit past sessions and view your focus activity across a 24-hour timeline, so you learn when you study best.
Daily and weekly focus goals
Set a daily focus-session goal for your day, or choose a weekly goal to guide your study routine. Weekly goals can be set or edited during the weekly planning window and stay in place for the rest of the week.
Streaks and milestones
Hit your daily goal and the streak grows. Milestones mark your progress, which helps on the tired days when starting is the hard part.
Review your weekly focus report
Check the week, not just the day. See trends and consistency, then adjust your plan before the next one.
Understand your screen time
See daily app totals and 7-, 15- or 30-day trends, your most-used apps, and how your distracting and productive app time compare.

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.
