Your phone tells you your screen time every Sunday. You feel briefly bad, then keep scrolling.
A morning text asks yesterday's number: "What was your screen time yesterday? Check Settings, reply with the hours." Saying it out loud is the part that stings.

What happens when you ignore us
Every other app you ignore. This one notices.
No escalation
Nothing dramatic. Nobody gets a text, no alarm goes off. It is just you, the streak you are about to break, and us asking again tomorrow.
- How often
- 1x daily (morning)
- Streaks
- We count every day you show up. Miss one and it resets to zero. It stings more than you would expect.
- Weekly report
- Once a week we send the receipts: what you did, what you skipped, and the streak you are defending.
The whole setup, by text
No form, no app store, no password. You answer a couple of questions and you're live.
Text 1
Text 2
Takes about 11 seconds. We timed it.
What it costs
No per-skill surprises. ScreenBreak is one skill, billed with everything else you turn on.
$2/mo
One skill. This one, if it's the one.
$7/mo
Five skills. ScreenBreak counts as one of them.
Questions you're already asking
Doesn't my phone already track this?
It tracks; it doesn't confront. You scroll right past the weekly summary. Reporting the number yourself each morning is the friction that actually moves it, and we keep the trend so progress is visible.
What are the Friday challenges?
Optional weekly nudges: a no-phone-at-dinner stretch, a sub-3-hour Saturday. You opt in at setup. They turn a vague goal into one concrete thing to try this week.
What's a realistic goal?
Default is 4 hours a day, but set your own. The point isn't zero, it's down from wherever you quietly know you are right now.
How do I cancel?
Text CANCEL SCREEN and we stop. No phone call, no retention rep, no guilt trip.
Does it work on my phone?
It's SMS. If your phone can send a text, it works. No app to download, no smartphone required.
If this isn't your problem
Same category, different nag. One of these might be the one you actually need.
You read the whole page.
Just start.
ScreenBreak kicks in the second you text in. The hard part was scrolling this far.
