Step 01
The Shield
We use Apple's native Screen Time API to gain system-level access to block apps. When you start a session, we place a shield over your distracting apps blocking them entirely on your phone. No workarounds.
Screen Time API
How it works
Under the hood.
How we block the algorithm but save the connection. Three layers working together.
Step 02
The Tunnel
While the app is blocked, Breakfree connects to the Matrix Protocol. We act as a secure bridge, fetching only your text messages and DM threads filtering out Stories, Reels, and Feed posts before they ever reach your screen.

Step 03
The Jar
As you save time avoiding the scroll, your in-app Digital Jar fills up. The more focus minutes you accumulate, the more drawings are added to your personal collection visualizing your time reclaimed.
Focus Visualization
The flow
Block. Message. Focus.
Start a session and your distracting apps are blocked at the system level. Your DMs tunnel through cleanly. When you're done, everything unlocks. No friction.
