## What is Breakup Box?

Relationships end. Create a Breakup Box to stash away and lock the digital reminders of a past relationship. Store photos, screenshots, videos and notes inside the Breakup Box then lock them away.

Once filled, you can optionally lock the Breakup Box. The key to unlock it is your time and attention - you have to play the easy 'Avoid the Ex' game. Just be sure opening the box is a good idea!

The Breakup Box is simple to work with - both adding mementos to the box and viewing or sharing them later. You can even copy items into a Breakup Box while in another app. A premium feature allows you to upload the contents of a Breakup Box to a cloud storage account - Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud Drive are supported. 

Sometimes distancing is the cure - put away the past and let the future set you free. The Breakup Box helps you do just that!

Features include:
- Select, save, view, and share photos, screenshots, videos, and text notes
- Send photos, etc from another app directly into a Breakup Box via that app's share feature
- Specify relationship info and profile pic for each ex
- Lock each Breakup Box
- Play and win the easy 'Avoid the Ex' game to unlock a Breakup Box. Game duration is configurable
