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 scheduled lock time, then unlock only by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC tag placed away from your bed.
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.
QR / NFC unlocks
Short unlocks require physical effort.
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
QR codes and NFC tags make quick unlocks possible, but not effortless.
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 QR codes or set up NFC tags and place them away from your bed.
Unlock with effort
Need access? Get up, scan or tap, and receive a limited unlock window.
Unlock tiers
QR and NFC unlocks stay available during lock time.
The scanner screens are not settings screens. They are controlled unlock doors. LoopBreak can allow short unlocks while keeping schedule and app-blocking settings protected.

Management stays locked
During an active schedule, important settings are protected so the user cannot simply remove blocked apps or weaken the schedule while the lock is running.
