Reduce bedtime scrolling
Block apps like social media, short videos, and other distractions during sleep hours.
Sleep-focused app blocking
Break the late-night scroll loop.
LoopBreak is a sleep-focused app blocker for people who want better screen-time control at night. Block distracting apps during your chosen protection times, then use a physical QR code for a short unlock. Premium adds more QR tiers, NFC unlocks, and advanced controls.
Built around friction, not punishment. The point is simple: make "just one more video" a little harder at the worst possible time.
Scheduled blocking
Choose the apps and the hours.
Physical unlock points
Free includes Quick QR; Premium adds more QR tiers and NFC.
Simple unlock limits
Short unlocks keep access controlled during lock time.
Built for better nights
Sleep management for people who keep scrolling.
LoopBreak helps with late-night phone habits, screen-time control, and simple time management by making distracting apps harder to open during your chosen lock schedule.
Add real-world friction
Physical QR codes make quick unlocks possible, but not effortless. Premium also supports NFC tags.
Control screen time at night
Use scheduled app locks to create a night routine without managing your whole day.
How it works
Simple idea. Annoyingly effective.
LoopBreak is designed for night-time app blocking. It does not try to run your whole life. It just makes the apps that steal your sleep harder to reach during your lock window.
Pick your apps
Select the apps you want blocked during your scheduled lock time.
Set your schedule
Choose the days and hours when LoopBreak should protect your sleep time.
Place your unlock points
Print a QR code and place it away from your bed. Premium users can also set up NFC tags.
Unlock with effort
Need access? Get up, scan or tap, and receive a limited unlock window.
Unlock tiers
Controlled unlocks stay available during protection time.
The scanner screens are controlled unlock doors, not management screens. Free includes the Quick QR tier. Premium adds Standard and Full QR tiers plus NFC unlocks, while schedule and app-blocking settings remain protected.
Quick
5 minutes - included with Free
Standard
10 minutes - Premium
Full
20 minutes - Premium, higher effort
Management stays locked
During an active schedule, Quick Lock, or other protected state, important settings may be restricted so the user cannot simply remove blocked apps or weaken protection while it is running.
