ScreenBreathe use case
A focus app for work that blocks distractions on Android
Protect time for focused work. Start a session, keep distracting apps and sites blocked until it ends, then take a planned break before your next task.
Phone and SMS stay available · Sign-in optional · Your screen-time data stays on your device
Your phone keeps breaking your concentration
One notification leads to a quick check, and suddenly ten minutes are gone. By the end of the day, your screen time has grown while important tasks remain unfinished. ScreenBreathe helps you put practical boundaries around distractions so you can protect time for focused work.
Moments ScreenBreathe helps
From a demanding deadline to a more focused everyday routine.
A deadline needs a few uninterrupted hours.
Start a focus session with a PIN-protected Deep block when a task needs your full attention. It adds an extra step before ending the session early.
You lose time to the same distracting apps every day.
Set daily limits for apps that repeatedly interrupt your work. When their allotted time runs out, ScreenBreathe blocks access for the rest of the day.
You want a quieter phone for a half or full workday.
Start a longer Digital Detox session and choose the apps, websites and supported feeds you want to block while you work through your priorities.
You still need to be reachable.
Keep essential communication apps available under normal blocking rules, and decide which work apps—such as email or chat—should remain accessible during your focus sessions.
Protect your focus without ignoring your workday
Shape focus around your workday
Use a countdown for a planned work block, a stopwatch for open-ended tasks or Pomodoro to structure work and breaks. For longer periods, choose a Digital Detox session and block selected apps, websites and supported feeds. Daily app limits help you manage distractions outside scheduled sessions too.
Keep essential communication available
Keep essential phone functions available under normal blocking rules, and choose whether email, chat and other work apps remain accessible. This helps you balance fewer distractions with the communication your work requires.

Review your app usage and focus history to identify which apps take up the most time. Use those insights to choose more realistic limits for your next workday.

Private by design, clear about permissions
Your screen-time, focus and blocking data stays on your device. We do not run a ScreenBreathe server that receives your app activity or browsing history. ScreenBreathe asks only for the permissions the features you turn on need, and we explain each one on our permissions page.
