The newest way to limit your app use, without full lockouts.

RECESS is built around a simple idea: use your apps for a set time, take a short break, then come back. While most app blockers fully lock you out. Recess just asks you to take a breather. Reply to a friend, post that story, have your 5 minutes of scrolling — then get back to your day. No hard blocks, no guilt — just gentle structure that helps you stay in control and stop doomscrolling. Recess helps you stay mindful without feeling punished.
does the break countdown pause if you actually open another app, or does it keep ticking in the background while you ignore it entirely?
the "take a breather" framing is such a smart shift from the usual hard-block approach. feels way more like a friend tapping your shoulder than a screen timeout.
