Brake!-Screentime&AppBlocking

"I meant to only watch for 10 minutes..." Have you ever unconsciously turned on your smartphone, and spent the night feeling frustrated after using it for longer than intended? This is a natural problem we all face. Brake! is a service that helps you manage your smartphone usage. We believe everyone can control themselves with the right system, and we provide a service that helps you manage your app usage in a non-intrusive way. We'll be with you until you develop healthy digital habits! ✦ Managed App Settings The first step to establishing habits is creating your own rules. You can group apps that require time management, like Instagram, YouTube, and webtoons, and manage them. Give each group a nickname and manage them all at once. ✦ Set Usage Time (Session Timer) When you launch an app in a "group," you'll be asked, "How much time do you plan to use?" Plan your usage time to the exact amount you truly need, and start using it. What was once an unconscious app usage has now become a conscious choice. ✦ End Reminder and 5-Minute Delay When the promised time arrives, the app will end. Build up the experience of keeping your promises. Still want to spend a little more time? The "5 More Minutes" feature allows you to extend the time as needed. However, you can only extend it up to two times, so use it wisely :) ✦ Cooldown Period Once all time has expired, Brake!'s core feature, the "Cooldown Period," begins. During this three-minute break, you can't use any apps in the group. It's a short break, but it allows you to break the dopamine cycle, cool down your overheated brain, and escape the stimuli of your smartphone. Why not take this short break to stretch and reflect on what you really need to do? ✦ Additional Features The Brake! developers are constantly working on new features!

The collected information is used solely for the purpose of providing the "Session Timer" feature and never collects any other personal information.
