What's New in BreakOff

1.3.3

August 27, 2026

HOST A BREAK. New this release. Host a break a whole room joins by scanning a printed poster. They do not need an account. Up to 10 people per break, so a classroom, a team offsite or a dinner table can put phones down together. Host is a Pro feature. SHARE ANY BREAK. Share a break and everyone joins the same clock, so you all go phone-free at the same time instead of one person doing it alone. Send it as a link or a QR code. FOUR MODES, ONE QUESTION. Mode now answers only "how does this break end": Flexible, Locked, QR Code, NFC Tag. Four flat choices, nothing buried in a submenu. I'm Done retires as a mode; the same stay-blocked-until-midnight behaviour is now the Until Tomorrow duration, and it works with any mode. ROUTINES. Presets and Programs merged into one place. Browse a Routine and add its Rules in two taps, or start a Trial to run it for a set stretch and then keep only the Rules that earned their place. RULES ARE UNLIMITED FOR EVERYONE. The old cap on saved schedules is gone on every plan. PROFILE MOVED TO THE TOP RIGHT. Your avatar now sits in the top right corner on every tab, so Profile is one tap from anywhere. CIRCLES. Friends became People inside a Circle, and the ranked leaderboard is gone. It is a list of the people you want to be more present with, not a scoreboard. FIXED: SCHEDULED BREAKS NOW CREDIT YOUR STREAK. Breaks that ran from a Rule could complete without counting. They count now. Plus Dynamic Type support on Home, iPad and tablet layout fixes, one design system across buttons, sheets, chevrons and badges, a lighter Home with subtle motion, and a fix for signed-out users landing on the login screen after a force quit.

Cuts the addiction!

I love this app! I really love the flexibility of this app and how you can create specific schedules with specific apps and choose how intense you want your social media breaks to be. They recently released a new feature where you can share this with friends and “break off” together which has been really fun to use on vacations.

Taking breaks together on vacation is exactly what we hoped people would do with that feature.

Finally… a break!

My toxic trait is that I ignore my app limits. They’re usually way too easy to bypass. BreakOff made it just difficult enough that I actually stopped myself from mindlessly opening social media every few minutes. I was able to sit down and focus for a change because I didn’t have the option to instantly cave to the urge. It’s simple, effective, and has been one of the few focus apps that’s actually changed my behavior instead of becoming another notification I ignore.

Essential for Work/social situations

I have used BreakOff for a few months and it has been amazing! It has helped me be more present in social situations and be more focused on work projects. It’s an app that helps me put what’s important first with a spin to it!
