Too easy to bypass

I got this app because it’s the only app blocker I’ve found so far that allows you to schedule a single (non-recurring) block in the future. I have a hectic schedule so rigid recurring blocks don’t work for me. I like the idea of scheduling my blocks when I schedule my day. But unfortunately with this app, there’s literally no barrier to deleting or editing the blocks. Even when it’s says the block is locked until the timer stops, it still gives you the option to delete the block entirely, or edit the times… which defeats the whole purpose of this app. I’m not spending $49 a year for something that’s barely any different from my free built-in phone blockers.

Response from developer

Thank you, this is fair feedback, and it shaped what we built next. Locked mode now has a Hardcore setting: once a Hardcore break starts, there are no emergency breaks and no way out until the timer ends. We also added an uninstall guard, so BreakOff can't be deleted during a break. Single scheduled blocks still work the way you liked. On price, blocking and scheduling are now free. Pro covers breaking with other people and Hardcore. If you give it another try, I'd love to hear how it goes at michael@breakoff.io. Michael, founder of BreakOff

Share breaks with my kids.

Great app! I’m excited to use this.

Response from developer

Thanks! Family features are a big focus for us right now, so there's a lot more coming for breaking with your kids.

A Simple, Refreshing Way to Stay Off My Phone

Used BreakOff yesterday and was impressed. I barely thought about checking my phone the entire time, which was honestly refreshing. It’s super simple and easy to use without feeling like you’re forcing yourself to disconnect. Definitely something I’ll keep using.

Response from developer

"Without feeling like you're forcing yourself" is exactly what we're going for. Glad it clicked on day one!

Community BreakOff!

A few friends and I recently went out to dinner and we all decided to use this app to BreakOff together. It was super easy to do. One of them just sent out a request to everybody else and the rest of us accepted and it turns out having a dinner where you just chat and catch up and don’t look at your phones is actually an amazing experience 10 out of 10 recommend break off with your friends :)

Response from developer

A dinner with friends and no phones is exactly why we built breaking together. Love this, thank you!

The break we all need from time to time

This app is convenient and easy to use. It gives my friends and I a much needed break so we can focus on our conversations.

Response from developer

Better conversations with friends is the whole point. Thanks for the kind words!
