Why This Exists

For the past 10+ years I bounced between dopamine spikes and empty hours on my phone. I'd check Instagram for “just one thing”… and lose two hours.

I deleted apps. Tracked screen time. Tried all the blockers.

Nothing stuck, because none of them worked with my habits. So instead I built the thing I couldn’t find.

Be honest: how many hours have you lost doing something on your phone?

Where you open Instagram to “just to check one thing” and suddenly it’s 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 3 hours later…?

This is THE fastest way to break your autopilot and scrolling that I have ever found.

My Screen Time Before Pattern Break™

I spent over 43 hours on my phone thats two days per week on my phone. And 22 hours on social media alone.

iOS Screen Time showing May 18–25 average 6h10m per day, total 43h14m, with Social 21h52m, Productivity & Finance 10h36m, Entertainment 2h47m

I had been spending too much time on social media, and yet still not getting enough done. That's what drove me to build Pattern Break™.

Imagine:

  • No more brain fog
  • Save 2+ hours/day from scrolling
  • Start finishing your todos before noon
  • Full attention on your priorities and get 3× more done
  • Actually listen during conversations without checking your phone

Finally, here is a way for you to remove all distractions by decreasing the intensity of these highly addictive apps.
