How many times a day do you think you check your phone? Once every hour? Once every 30 minutes? You most likely are wrong. Study shows that an average adult checks his phone a whooping 110 times a day. That makes it once every 13 minutes. And for most people this peaks to once every 6 seconds in the evenings. So if you, like most people, are checking your phone when you could be spending time with a real human being, or doing something constructive, then BreakFree is for you.
BreakFree is a revolutionary app that will help you maintain a controlled digital lifestyle. It monitors phone and app usage and tracks how addicted you are to your phone and apps. With visually appealing characters, graphs and stats, the app guides you on how you can control phone usage.
Using a highly advanced algorithm the app studies your phone usage pattern and calculates an addiction score in real time. You can track your progress with Daily, Weekly and Monthly graphs.
BreakFree warns you with timely notifications via our friendly character, Sato. Example: If you are using a particular app for long or making too many calls or have used the phone for over an hour, Sato will notify you to slow down.
The app also provides you with phone management tools such as disabling the internet, rejecting phone calls and sending auto text messages. You can completely control your habits by scheduling these tools to run on a given day at a given time. For instance, say you want to spend family time every Sunday from 3 PM to 6 PM, then you can schedule your phone to disable sound and internet, so that you are not disturbed by calls and notifications during this time.
You can view the usage stats for your addiction score, top used apps, call patterns and other functions to help you make an informed decisions to take the necessary actions. Example: If you know you've launched WhatsApp 30 times in a day, then it is time to cut back and use your time wisely.
For the younger smartphone users, BreakFree can be used as a great parental control device. By installing it on your child's smartphone you can monitor his / her phone usage, schedule internet hours and much more.
