breakband

Breakband pairs with a physical NFC wristband to block distracting apps. Tap to focus, tap again to stop. No willpower required — just friction. How it works: 1. Choose which apps to block 2. Tap your Breakband wristband to start a focus session 3. Your selected apps are instantly restricted 4. Tap again when you're ready to stop Why a wristband? Every app-blocking tool lives on the same phone you're trying to avoid. Breakband is different — the physical tap creates real friction between you and distraction. You can't swipe your way past it. Features: - Instant app blocking with a single NFC tap - Take a Break — 5, 10, or 30 minute breaks with auto-relock - Smart schedules that auto-block on your routine - Quick Peek — 30-second glimpse with escalating cooldowns - Journal prompts when you unlock, so you understand your habits - Cooldown timer before unblocking to make you pause and think - Strict mode prevents deleting blocked apps or Breakband itself - Emergency unblock as a limited safety valve - Lock screen Live Activity showing your active session - Detailed stats, streak tracking, and habit insights What Breakband is NOT: This isn't an unbreakable lockdown. It's designed to introduce friction — to make reaching for your phone a conscious choice instead of a reflex. You're always in control. No ads. No tracking. No data collection. Your focus data stays on your device. Period.
