Breakly - Take Control of Your Time Agian

Breakly is an anti-addiction app for mobile phones. It forces users to take a break through timed reminders and app blocking, thereby reducing addiction.

The main functions are:

Nap and rest: According to the "20-20-20" rule, two long and short rest times are set to protect eyesight and reduce addiction;
Strict mode: Block apps during naps and rest periods, and the blocking period cannot be lifted, forcing users to take a break; at the same time, a whitelist setting function is provided, which can add office apps such as phones and DingTalk to the whitelist;
Smart usage timing: It has functions such as automatic pause timing when the screen is off and reset timing after the screen is off for a certain period of time.

As the first user of Breakly, I found it very effective after using it. When watching short videos, the timed reminder made me realize that I had been watching for a long time. By forcing me to put down my phone through forced rest, although I will continue to watch the current short video after the break, I no longer have the urge to keep watching. If you also want to reduce the time you use your phone, but you lack self-control, you might as well try Breakly, which may have unexpected results.
