Block Apps. Stay Accountable. Get Back To Tasks. BreakAway helps protect time from TikTok loops with app blocking, Android Scroll Guard for supported feeds, daily limits, and next tasks that appear when the habit starts.
Block the app
Set TikTok as a blocked app or include it in a daily limit group.
Catch passive scrolling
On Android, Scroll Guard helps redirect supported short-form feed behavior.
Replace the session
Use a short task, walk, or focus step as the next action.
Why TikTok is different
Short-form video reduces the cost of starting another clip. That makes “just one more” easier than choosing a task, a workout, or sleep.
Research context
A recent meta-analysis found stronger negative associations for problematic short-form video use than routine use, which supports targeting compulsive patterns rather than demonizing every video. Short-form video meta-analysis.
How to set up BreakAway
Block TikTok during your highest-risk windows, keep a visible daily limit, and choose the next task before the urge appears. If private limits fail, add a friend or competition.
