SignalBreak is an eye-rest, digital-wellbeing, and screen-habit companion for iPhone and iPad. “Signal” is the habit signal that keeps us looking at the screen; “Break” is an intentional pause in continuous use. The black-and-white TV static is a visual metaphor for that pause. It does not indicate or change a real network, call, video, or display state.
Create focused rules for distracting screen use. When continuous use reaches your limit, SignalBreak can show a gentle notification or Apple’s Screen Time Shield and guide a short, healthy break. Navigation, meetings, and other important moments can be paused for a limited time, with protection resuming automatically.
Key features:
- Low-power continuous-use estimation with Apple Screen Time
- Strong interventions, gentle reminders, and time-limited exceptions
- Guided 20-second distance-gaze, closed-eye breathing, blinking, and gentle gaze-movement practices
- Morning reports for the complete previous day and evening reflections for today
- Daily Screen Time trends, daypart patterns, and Top 5 app summaries
- Successful, incomplete, and pending intervention statistics
- Five-part daily check-ins, seven-day care trails, and feeling trends
- Home and Lock Screen widgets plus an iOS 18 Control Center entry
- Local data-size visibility, separate record controls, and authorization controls
- Reduce Motion and Dim Flashing Lights support
- Designed for iPhone and iPad
Optional Parent Insights adds more detailed seven-day hourly, per-app, bedtime, and continuous-use views for families who need them. It is a separate tier from Personal Insights and does not change the free core eye-break features. Detailed app data begins accumulating on device only while Parent Insights is active and can be cleared separately.
Privacy: SignalBreak has no account, advertising, or cross-app tracking. Statistics stay in the on-device App Group. Detailed app duration and Top 5 availability depend on Apple authorization, OS version, and region.
SignalBreak is a digital-wellbeing and habit aid. It is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.
