Doombreak helps you stop doomscrolling — block distracting apps for as long as you choose, and use Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok without the feeds that pull you in. Completely free. Pick any apps you want gone for a while — social, video, news, whatever hooks you. Name why this focus in one short line before you start — it stays under the countdown while you block, and if you skip it the session looks the same. Stay in a timed focus session until it ends, or run Until schedule ends so the block lasts the rest of your focus window. Turn on Auto-start so when your focus window begins, Doombreak starts blocking for you. Lock focus settings until morning so you can’t quietly turn Beast Mode or your schedule off when the urge hits. Glance at Shield on your Lock Screen for a live countdown, and tap once to request a mindful unlock when you truly need an app. Go further with filtered mode: Instagram keeps DMs and profiles, YouTube keeps Search and Subscriptions (no Shorts or Home), and TikTok keeps Search and Following (no For You) — all inside Doombreak while the native apps stay blocked. Save app groups for different moments of the day. Set a focus schedule so starting is automatic. Need one app for a real reason? Take a mindful unlock — pause with intent, get a short window, then lock again.
