Official Apple FamilyControls Technology
The Cleanest iOS App Blocker Ever Built
Reclaim hours wasted on doomscrolling. Shield social media, infinite feeds, and mobile games on your exact schedule with native iOS protection.
Why Native Apple Shielding is Superior
No VPNs or Battery Draining Proxies
Take a Break uses Apple's native FamilyControls API to shield selected apps without routing traffic through a VPN.
Clean System Hourglass Shields
When an app is blocked, iOS places a beautiful, quiet hourglass icon over the icon. Tapping the app displays your custom Take a Break shield reminding you of your intention.
Per-App Daily Allowances
You don't have to quit cold turkey. Give specific apps a 20-minute daily allowance. Once time expires, the app rests until midnight.
Strict Mode Protection
For high-stakes deep work or critical study sessions, activate Strict Mode. Strict Mode adds friction to early breaks. You can still turn off shields in iOS Settings.
