Take a Break
Live · App Store
A circadian discipline app that makes screen time something you earn — not something you lose.
01
The problem
Screen-time apps either lecture you or get bypassed. The ones that actually block tend to route your traffic through a VPN profile or a local proxy — which drains the battery, sees everything you do, and breaks with the next iOS release.
02
How it solves it
Shielding runs on Apple's own FamilyControls and Screen Time frameworks: no VPN, no proxy, nothing intercepting traffic. Then it changes the economics. Honouring a break earns Time Bank minutes, walking mints more at 500 steps for 10 minutes, and unlocking early costs two banked minutes for every one minute of access. A willpower problem becomes an exchange-rate problem. App selections and mission proof never leave the phone.

Three other products, each with its own state — and the local work that pays for all of them.
