Digital wellness, with a weird little ritual
Touch grass before you scroll.
Scanbreak locks distracting apps until you scan a real object. Earn 20 minutes of scrolling, build a streak, and keep your phone without letting it keep you.
No cold-turkey detox. Just enough friction to make the choice yours.
Today's ritual
Scan the running shoes → unlock 20 min
What to expect
Friction, not punishment.
Scanbreak is new, so we won't invent reviews. These are the promises shaping every product decision.
Your phone stays useful
We add a pause before distracting apps instead of blocking your entire digital life.
Your ritual stays yours
You choose the real object, the apps, and whether your funniest unlocks are shared.
Your progress stays honest
Streaks reward intentional unlocks—not impossible screen-time perfection.
The ritual
Put something real between impulse and app.
Choose the apps that eat your time.
Put short-form video, social feeds, or any reflexive app behind Scanbreak. The app remains available—but only after a deliberate action.
Scan your chosen object.
Find the book, plant, shoes, or wonderfully ridiculous object that breaks the autopilot loop.
Use the window on purpose.
A successful scan unlocks 20 minutes. When time is up, the ritual returns before the next session.
The playful part
Streaks make it sticky. Weird objects make it shareable.
Watch intentional unlocks compound, then optionally post your strangest ritual to a public leaderboard. A rubber duck can be accountability.
