BREAKIFY: HABITS & SELF CONTROL Transform your life in 60, 90, or 180 days. Breakify is the gamified habit tracker and addiction recovery app that combines enforced alarms, screen control app blocking, AI coaching, and relapse prevention to help you quit bad habits and build lasting discipline. ENFORCED ALARMS Unlike other habit apps where you can cheat, Breakify's smart alarm system keeps ringing until you dismiss AND complete a challenge. Choose Normal Mode (standard alarm) or Strict Mode (alarm rings until you finish a math problem, memory game, or challenge). Perfect for waking up early, going to bed on time, or any habit requiring real accountability. Set custom wake-up windows (4:00-9:30 AM) and sleep windows (9:00-11:30 PM). When active, Breakify automatically blocks selected apps from 10:30 PM to 7:00 AM. SCREEN CONTROL & APP BLOCKING Break phone addiction with powerful app blocking. Create rules to block distracting apps during work, study, or recovery. Unlike Apple Screen Time, Breakify enforces blocking through your alarm system - you can't access blocked apps until completing daily tasks. Perfect for dopamine detox, digital minimalism, and reclaiming screen time control. AI COACH & RELAPSE PREVENTION Chat with your personal AI coach 24/7. Name your coach, discuss struggles, get motivation, and receive support when cravings hit. Your coach learns patterns and helps rewire thoughts to prevent relapse. Toolkit includes emergency support, pattern recognition for triggers, 3x daily reminders, and addiction recovery strategies. GAMIFIED WORLD-BUILDING Earn bricks and XP by completing tasks. Use bricks to unlock countries on your globe - all 209 countries await. Watch the world heal as you heal yourself. More consistency means more countries unlocked. Choose difficulty: Easy (3 tasks daily, 1 brick), Medium (5 tasks, 2 bricks), Hard (7 tasks, 3 bricks). HABIT & SOBRIETY TRACKING Track unlimited habits and goals: quit addiction (alcohol, smoking, vaping, substances, social media, gaming, compulsive behaviors), build habits (exercise, journaling, reading, meditation, cold showers), health tracking (Apple Health steps, water, sleep), streak tracking with contribution squares, task calendar with analytics. JOURNALING & MEMOIR Document transformation with mood tracking, drawings, photos, reflections. Export your 60/90/180-day journey as a memoir book - permanent growth record. COMMUNITY FEED Share drawings and thoughts to location-based feed. Connect with others (privacy-protected). Like, dislike, remix content. Stay motivated through community.
