Waterbreak

Your phone is winning. Water Break makes it work for you instead: pick the apps that eat your time, and they stay locked until you drink water, verified by your camera, entirely on your device. No willpower required. No fake check-ins. You can't tap your way past it. The only key is an actual drink. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps and categories to block (social, games, whatever eats your day). 2. When you reach for them, Water Break steps in. 3. Take a real drink on camera and your apps unlock for a break you choose (5 to 120 minutes). 4. Hit your daily goal and everything stays unlocked until tomorrow. You earned it. WHY IT STICKS β’ Camera-verified drinks: on-device detection confirms a real sip, so the habit is real β’ Your rules: set bottles per day, drink duration, and how long apps stay unlocked β’ Streaks: every goal day extends your run, and you climb the leaderboard β’ Honest history: each day is judged by the goal you had that day, so raising your goal never erases past wins β’ Live Activity and widgets: watch your unlock countdown right on the lock screen β’ Apple Health: finished bottles sync to Health automatically (optional) β’ Works offline: drinks log locally and sync back PRIVATE BY DESIGN β’ Camera frames are processed entirely on your device. No photos or video are ever recorded, stored, or uploaded. β’ Your blocked-app list is managed locally and never leaves your phone. We can't see it. β’ No ads. Your data is never sold, and you can delete everything any time. THE IDEA Most of us don't drink enough water, and most of us scroll too much. Water Break chains the habit you want to the habit you have: the urge to check your phone becomes a cue to hydrate. Habit stacking, enforced by Screen Time instead of willpower. REQUIREMENTS β’ iPhone with iOS 16 or later β’ Screen Time permission (for app blocking) β’ Camera permission (for drink detection only) Hydration goals and reminders are suggestions, not medical advice. Drink up. Scroll less. Feel better.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Waterbreak at none against Stepia's 2. Waterbreak also leads on ads (none vs shown). Stepia's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
