You don’t need a harder lock. You need a break your body can accept. Breakly uses mini breaks and long breaks while you scroll — short enough that your body doesn’t rebel, strong enough that awareness comes back. When the loop breaks, self-control returns. That’s how doomscrolling actually ends — not by turning your phone into a prison. • Mini breaks: snap out before “one more swipe” wins • Long breaks: let the urge fade when you’re stuck deep • Day or night: same rhythm on the couch or in bed • Optional Strict Mode: holds a break if you want a firmer guardrail • Track bedtime and unlocks so progress stays visible Other tools lock the day or delay the open. Breakly works in the moment you’re already scrolling. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
