Best way to break bad phone habits
I struggle with too much screen time and always try the same things… Most commonly deleting apps, turning off notifications and screen time limits. But I would continue to struggle with the urge to pull my phone out of my pocket for every little thing. I obviously use my phone for a lot of necessary things but once the phone is out and I check a necessity (which probably isn’t really that important anyways) then I end up on less productive apps wasting time. This app has come at the problem in a unique new way that really worked for me. Getting the phone out of my pocket and plugged in away from me takes away that compulsion to get on my phone. When I am on a scheduled break I find it a lot easier to focus on my kids and be really present during family time. At first it honestly felt really weird and off putting being away from my phone (which is crazy that we are that attached!) But the pros are worth it and when you get back to your phone you realize that you’re not really missing anything important. Would recommend.

Great way to physically get away from your phone
I hate how addicted everyone is to there phone, and I’ve found physical separation is the only thing that actually works, which is what this app helps with.
Mental Health Game Changer
The Phone Break app is the most effective method for less screen time. The other apps I’ve used like Opal and Clearspace just made it more annoying to get to use my phone, but eventually I would always switch off the app and go back to old habits. With the Phone Break app, I actually create space from my phone, which has led to a more productive, healthy, and balanced lifestyle. Give this app a shot and see how your mental health improves.

Necessary tough love for screen addicts
As a licensed mental health therapist, I see first hand every day the impact that screen addiction and overuse of social media have on us as individuals and a society. Very few are successful in using our smart phones in moderation, but this simple tool is a big step in the right direction because it *limits opportunity.* We easily find ways around time limits, etc, but the very simple, old-school solution of plugging your phone in physically away from you makes being fully present an option again. The app is simple and still in the early stages, but it does what it needs to do and is definitely working for a good cause. Our phones own too many of us. Break that.

Such a helpful tool for creating healthy phone habits!
This app has been really beneficial for me. I’ve tried numerous times to spend less time on my phone using screen time limits & haven’t found success - I see notifications pop up, find another app to scroll, etc. Instead of being able find something to get sucked into, Phone Break requires physical distance from my device, making it out of sight out of mind. If I receive a notification, I don’t know about it until I go check, which encourages me to spend less unproductive time on it & more intentional & focused time on other things such as giving my kids my full attention.
I have been using the app for a while now, & have already seen a change in my desire towards space from my device. It’s refreshing & empowering & I love the uniqueness of how this app got me here. I look forward to setting new goals & continuing to improve!
