BreakLoop-App Blocking

BreakLoop — App Blocker for Focus Take back control of your screen time. BreakLoop is the focus app that actually works — even when willpower fails. Are you tired of mindlessly opening Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube the moment you pick up your phone? BreakLoop is a powerful distraction blocker designed to break the habit loop behind mindless scrolling and help you reduce screen time. The moment you open a blocked app, BreakLoop instantly redirects you to the home screen and displays a full-screen reminder — your own image or custom message — so you pause and stay focused on what truly matters. 🚫 App Blocking — Real Enforcement Choose the apps that distract you most. When you try to open a blocked app, BreakLoop immediately: • Detects the app in the foreground • Redirects you back to the home screen • Shows your personal reminder overlay This simple interruption stops the habit loop before it even begins. 📂 Custom App Categories Organize your digital life by grouping distracting apps into custom categories (e.g., "Social Media" or "Games"). • Create, edit, and manage your own lists. • Toggle focus mode on or off for specific categories independently. 🎨 Personalized Focus Reminders Instead of a basic lock screen, BreakLoop shows a meaningful reminder designed to make you pause. Customize your focus screen with Image Mode or Color Mode using your own motivational messages. 🔐 PIN Protection & Accountability Focus mode shouldn’t be easy to disable in a moment of temptation. BreakLoop allows you to protect your settings with a 4-digit PIN to ensure you stay accountable. ⚡ Always-Active Protection BreakLoop runs continuously in the background to keep your protection active throughout the day with a dedicated service watchdog. ⚠️ AccessibilityService API Disclosure To function effectively, BreakLoop requires the use of the AccessibilityService API. • Purpose: We use this API to detect in real-time which application is currently in the foreground of your device. • Why it's necessary: This allows the app to identify if you have opened a "blocked" app and immediately trigger the redirect to your focus reminder. Without this permission, BreakLoop cannot monitor app launches or enforce your blocking settings. • Privacy Commitment: We value your privacy. The AccessibilityService API is used solely for the core functionality of app blocking. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data, keystrokes, or browsing history through this service. Permissions Used BreakLoop is built with transparency and requires these specific permissions: • Accessibility Service: To detect and block distracting apps in the foreground. • Display over other apps: To show your customized reminder screen over blocked apps. • Usage Access: To monitor app usage patterns for blocking. • Battery Optimization: To ensure the focus service stays alive in the background. Privacy First No tracking. No analytics. No data collection. BreakLoop processes everything entirely on-device. Your PIN, settings, and usage never leave your phone. Break the distraction loop.
