# BreakAway

> BreakAway is a digital wellness app for reducing phone time through app blocking, task replacement, friends, chats, and competitions. Android also includes Scroll Guard™ for supported short-form feeds.

BreakAway is built for people who want reducing phone use to become an accountability system. When a block triggers, tasks and reminders are brought forward so the next useful action is visible.

## Platforms

- iOS: available on the App Store; some advanced blocking features vary by platform
