Breakly: Screen Time Limit — Stop doomscrolling with mini and long breaks

About Breakly: Screen Time Limit

Breakly helps you stop mindless scrolling on iPhone without turning your phone into a prison. Mini breaks snap you out before “one more swipe” wins; long breaks let the urge fade when you’re stuck deep. Use it on the couch or in bed, add an optional Strict Mode that locks distracting apps until the break ends, keep essentials on a whitelist, and track bedtime and unlocks to see progress.

Who it is for
iPhone users who want to curb mindless scrolling and build healthier screen-time habits.
Problem it solves
Doomscrolling and repeated “one more swipe” moments make it hard to stop using distracting apps, while overly restrictive approaches can feel like locking away the whole phone.
The solution
Breakly interrupts scrolling with mini and long breaks. Optional Strict Mode keeps selected distracting apps locked until the break ends, while a whitelist keeps essentials available. Bedtime and unlock tracking helps users see their progress.
What makes it unique
It offers both mini and long breaks, with optional Strict Mode and an essentials whitelist, so people can interrupt scrolling without turning their phone into a prison.

What do DR4, DR3 and the model difference mean?
DR4:
Ahrefs' newer model. It gives more weight to links from sites with organic search traffic and rates a subdomain on its own links.
DR3:
The previous model, shown in the Ahrefs app until 1 December 2026.
Model difference:
DR4 minus DR3 for the same domain. The models calculate differently, so this is not growth or a drop; the “since” lines compare each model with itself.
