20 seconds.A kinder pause.
SignalBreak meets you at a continuous-use checkpoint and helps you look away. Gaze into the distance, close your eyes, blink, or follow a calm breath—one short pause can turn “I should rest” into something you actually do.

SUPPORT, NOT PUNISHMENT
From continuous use to looking into the distance.
Using Apple Screen Time, SignalBreak presents a clear, restrained reminder at the continuous-use threshold you choose. Start a guided 20-second break, or pause protection for a high-priority meeting or journey.

Notice
Complete one short break
Distance gaze, closed eyes, breathing, blinking, and gentle eye relaxation rotate with clear safety cues.
Build honest progress
Reports and seven-day footprints count completed actions, so every real pause is visible.
COMPLETE WITHOUT BEING INTRUSIVE
Present when protection matters. Quiet when life takes priority.
SignalBreak is designed around work, travel, meetings, and downtime. The protection state stays understandable, with clear pause reasons and remaining time.
◉
Screen Time Shield
At your threshold, a system Shield guides a 3-second preparation and 20-second break, then releases automatically when completed.
▤
Daily reflection
In one minute, note eye comfort, focus, energy, screen self-control, and how helpful the reminder felt—without turning feelings into a medical score.
⌁
Widgets and quick pause
See protection status from Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Control Center. Pause for a reason and resume when the timer expires.

60 eye-health notes
Practical, bounded guidance on screen rhythm, humidity, blinking, warm compresses, sleep, and outdoor time.
A GENTLE BOUNDARY FOR MORNING AND NIGHT
Understand yesterday. Notice what you did today.
The morning report uses the complete previous calendar day to help set one small intention. The evening report summarizes actions up to the time it is opened and closes with encouraging, practical guidance.
PARENT INSIGHTS · OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION
Turn supervision into a shared plan.
Parent Insights is not covert monitoring and does not grade a child. It turns weekly rhythm, bedtime use, continuous sessions, and eye-break follow-through into facts a family can discuss—and suggests one action that is easier to try together.
- Seven-day hourly rhythm and bedtime patterns
- Eye breaks, continuous use, and self-reported feelings together
- App mix, pickups, and notifications when the system permits
- Shared reports omit app names and the child’s identity
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Your habits stay on your device.
SignalBreak currently creates no user account and does not send Screen Time tokens, app names, or raw activity logs to the developer’s servers. Review storage, delete local records, or revoke permission from the app.

CLEAR VALUE, CLEAR CHOICE
Start with better breaks. Go deeper only when useful.
A subscription determines the depth of analysis. System permission determines the level of detail the device can provide. SignalBreak explains both before purchase.

FAQ
Understand it before you begin.
Can SignalBreak read chats, photos, or call content?
No. SignalBreak does not read chats, photos, contacts, recordings, or call content. Screen activity is supplied through Apple Screen Time permission and stays on the device by default.
Is SignalBreak a medical app?
No. SignalBreak is a digital-wellbeing and habit aid, not a medical device, and it does not diagnose or treat conditions. Consult a qualified professional about persistent discomfort, pain, blurred vision, or headaches.
Do the core features require a subscription?
No. Core Shield protection, 20-second breaks, essential history, daily reflection, and the knowledge library remain free. Personal and Parent Insights are optional subscriptions.
Why might a report omit app-level details?
App-level, pickup, and notification data depends on Apple permission, system version, and regional capability. When unavailable, SignalBreak explains the scope and continues with aggregated insights from confirmed activity, breaks, and reflections.
