If you, like us, suffer hopelessly from smartphone addiction, then the new BreakFree app might be the thing you need to finally separate yourself from it.
The new app “measures” your addiction to your phone, monitoring the amount of time you spend on it and informing you to take a break every now and again. It also calculates an “Addiction Score” that monitors your usage, alerting you when you have increased the time you spend on your phone.
It may sound awfully intrusive, but BreakFree is actually quite helpful. It allows you to schedule “downtime” that will prohibit you receiving notifications, and will send auto-replies and reject phone calls you receive during this downtime.
While the free version of the app is still handy, for $1.99 you can buy the premium version that monitors your usage in each and every app, thus providing more detailed statistics regarding your usage.
BreakFree is only available on Android at the time of writing, though an iOS version is coming soon. You can download it on the Google Play Store right here.
