BreakOff vs StayTask Time Boxing

Phones down, together. Start a break with your friends, roommates or family, and distracting apps go quiet on every phone that joins, all on the same clock. The time you get back is time with each other. It is easier to put your phone down when the people around you do too. BreakOff makes that one tap. Real blocking powered by Apple's Screen Time API, not reminders you can swipe away. Everything you need to block apps is free, and no account is required to start. BREAK TOGETHER Start a break and share it. Your people join on their own phones, and everyone's chosen apps stay blocked until the break ends. Date night, dinner with friends, a quiet evening at the apartment, homework hour at home: one shared break, one shared clock. BREAK ROOMS Every shared break has a live room. See who is in, who paused and who left, get an alert when someone leaves, and finish on a recap of how everyone did. Rooms are free for you and 3 guests. Pro fits up to 20 and keeps every past room. HOST A BREAK Put up one QR poster and everyone who scans it starts the same break on their own phone. Hosting is part of BreakOff Pro and fits up to 20 people. PUT THE OFF SWITCH IN ANOTHER ROOM Leave a QR code or an NFC tag in the kitchen, by the front door or on the fridge. Start a QR or NFC break and it only ends when you walk over and scan it. The phone stays put, and so do you. FOUR WAYS A BREAK CAN END • Flexible: a timer you can end early. A gentle way to start. • Locked: the break runs its full length, with an emergency escape if you truly need it. • QR Code: the break ends only when you scan your QR code. • NFC Tag: the break ends only when you tap your NFC tag. HARDCORE For when you mean it. Turn on Hardcore (Pro) and a Locked break has no emergency breaks and no way out until the timer ends. Add the free uninstall guard so BreakOff can't be deleted in the middle of a break. RULES AND ROUTINES Let breaks start on their own. Pick a Routine like Family Time, Better Sleep, Slow Morning, School Focus, Work Focus or Weekend Reset, or set your own Rules for any days and times. ALSO IN THE APP • App groups: choose the apps and categories to block, and save different sets for different moments. • Always Allowed: pick the apps that stay open in every break, or block all apps at once. • Circle: keep your people in one place so starting a break together takes seconds. • Time you got back: see how much time you have taken back. • Learn: 31 short stories on focus, attention and phone habits. • Invite a friend: finish a break together and you both get a free week of Pro. WHO IT'S FOR • Couples who want dinner, date night or the last hour before bed back. • Friends and roommates who would rather be at the table than in their feeds. • Families who want everyone at home to put their phones down at the same time, parents included. • Classrooms, teams, and you on your own: set a Routine or protect a focus block.

StayTask: Time Boxing radically transforms your productivity. Forget about endless lists and the overwhelm of pending tasks. Here, you assign a specific time block to each task and focus only on what you are doing right now. It is simple, visual, and extremely effective. Instead of working until exhaustion or falling into procrastination, you define a clear timeframe and work with productive urgency. When the time is up, the task is too. This eliminates paralyzing perfectionism, blocks unproductive multitasking, and turns overwhelming projects into manageable, highly motivating blocks. WHAT MAKES STAYTASK DIFFERENT: The power of ALWAYS-ON: Your focus shouldn't be interrupted. We've designed a full-screen mode where the always-on clock and the always-on countdown take center stage. The remaining time is displayed large, always visible, and without the screen turning off. It works like a desktop productivity display that keeps you immersed in your workflow: no distractions and no need to touch your phone to open the app. Task creation in 3 taps: Choose a preset duration, a custom one, or a deadline, and start working instantly. Zero friction. Visual and intuitive design: The countdown works in real-time and dynamically changes color based on the task's progress and status. Total Control: Pause, resume, mark as completed, or failed. Need an extra push? It includes a 5-minute grace period and the quick option to create a task continuation. StayTask is built for the present. No complex project managers, no endless tags. Just you, your task, and the time you dedicate to it. This simplicity creates mental clarity and helps you get more done with much less effort.
