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.

Documented Time Loss

Before Pattern Break™, I spent over 43 hours on my phone—that's two full days per week. 22 hours were lost to social media alone.

Core System Features

Smart Launch Prompts

You must open mindfully. Choose “Upload” or “Watch” every time you open an app, eliminating the autopilot reflex.

Built-In Pomodoro Timer

Automatically creates a timer to hold you accountable to using the app intentionally, ensuring your usage is finite and productive.

App Swap Illusion

Pattern Break™ replaces your current social media apps with decoy icons to prevent the habitual, muscle-memory tap.

Visual Pattern Interrupt

Instantly visually breaks your scrolling habit the moment an app opens, forcing a conscious stop to the dopamine loop.

Universal Guardrail

Works seamlessly on all major apps: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, and any other iOS app you choose.

Seamless Multi-Tasking

Stay in flow as you move between creation apps (editing, camera) and posting apps without getting hijacked by scroll traps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install anything extra?

Nope—Pattern Break™ plugs straight into your iPhone’s built-in Shortcuts app. No third-party downloads, complicated apps, or jailbreaking required. It uses the native iOS automation tools.

How long does setup take?

Setup is extremely fast. About 5 minutes from purchase to full blocking. We provide a comprehensive, step-by-step video guide that walks you through the simple process.

Is this a subscription?

No—this is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Your purchase grants you lifetime access to the current system and all future major updates for our founding users.

Will it slow down my phone?

Not at all. The underlying code is ultra-lightweight and runs seamlessly within the native iOS environment. It only runs for a brief moment when you attempt to open a blocked app.

Does it affect notifications?

No—you’ll still see badges and alerts as usual. Pattern Break™ is designed only to intercept the tap-to-open behavior, forcing intentionality when you engage with the app.

What if I want my old icons back?

The system is fully reversible anytime. If you wish to go back to the original icon, simply delete the decoy icon you created, and your original app returns to its default state.
