RECESS — Stop Doomscrolling Live

Set a timer, take a break, come back refreshed. Recess is built around a simple idea: use your apps for a set time, take a short break, then come back. Most app blockers fully lock you out. Recess just asks you to take a breather. Reply to a friend, post that story, have your 5 minutes of scrolling — then get back to your day. No hard blocks, no guilt — just gentle structure that helps you stay in control and stop doomscrolling. Set a time limit for your favourite apps. When your time is up, Recess reminds you to step away and take a breather. After your break, you're free to return — because Recess isn't about restriction, it's about balance. Whether it's social media, games, or anything else eating into your day, Recess helps you stay mindful without feeling punished. Features: • Set time limits for any app • Get notified when your time is up • Take a short break then return freely • No full daily lockouts • Adjust limits whenever you need to • Simple and lightweight — no account required • All data stays on your device How Recess works: Recess uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect in real time when you open an app you've chosen to track. This allows Recess to accurately measure your usage and trigger your rest period at the right moment. The Accessibility Service is used solely for this purpose — Recess does not read, collect, or transmit any screen content, text, or personal data. All information stays on your device at all times. Use it. Rest. Return. That's Recess. Download to stop doomscrolling now!
