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.

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 :)

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!

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.

Response from developer

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.

Just difficult enough is exactly what we were aiming for, so this means a lot.

Very easy to use

Appreciate it!

Game changer!

This app literally helped me study and focus on reading/movies so much more! I look forward to my break off time every day. Pretty sure it helped me get my degree haha 10/10!

Response from developer

A degree is massive. Congrats!

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!

Response from developer

Months of use means a lot. Thank You!

Best focus app on the market!

I’ve used a lot of apps for trying to focus on what matters in life and BreakOff has been the best app I’ve found thus far! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to save time!

Response from developer

We are so glad you are using it and it's making a difference.
