## What is Breakin'?

Early shift, late shift, night shift: Breakin' is a calm day planner built for days that don't run nine to five. Plan around your shifts, take a real break, and look back on the day without scores or streaks.

PLAN AROUND YOUR SHIFTS
• Bring shifts in from your calendar and confirm them in one tap
• A break nudge mid-shift, and a quiet mode after night shifts
• A short guided reflection to make sense of a hard shift

A SIMPLE DAY TIMELINE
• One intention, a few Task Focus blocks, and reminders — all on one timeline
• Repeat what recurs (every day, weekdays, weekly) like in Apple Reminders
• Running late? "10 More Minutes" moves an item without starting over
• Save a good day as a Routine and reuse it on your next shift

FOCUS AND PAUSE
• A focus timer that stays on your Lock Screen and rings when time's up
• A short guided Pause when the day gets heavy

SPEAK IT, HEAR IT
• Tell Breakin' your plan by voice, in your own language — on-device
• "Listen to Your Day": tilt your phone to hear each item read out, great for busy hands and VoiceOver
• Ask Siri "What's next in Breakin'"

LOOK BACK KINDLY
• Your day becomes a short private story
• Add a moment from your day (a walk, a place, a song) with Journaling Suggestions
• Insights that suggest one gentle next step

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Writing and AI features run on your device; optional sync uses your own iCloud

Available in English, Bahasa Indonesia, 简体中文, Español, 日本語, Deutsch, Português and 한국어.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
