Alert: BreakFree app can help smartphone users to get over smartphone addiction
TT Correspondent |  |  16 May 2014

The app was developed by Mrigaen Kapadia and his wife Nupur Kapadia who co-founded a startup called Mobifolio. The new BreakFree app measures how long you spend using apps, how often you unlock your phone and how much time you spend making phone calls. It calculates an “addiction score” based on these metrics. BreakFree also provides users with phone management tools such as disabling the internet, rejecting phone calls and sending auto text messages, Reports, PTI.

The application calculates if you are engaged with a certain app for too long, calling up too many people for too long or if you have used the handset for more than an hour, it will chastise you very gently.

The app is free to download, but premium features will cost $1.99, which comes with more detailed statistics and breakdowns of how much time each app is eating.

                                                          

The new BreakFree app includes the features like Usage Monitoring, Non Intrusive notifications, Phone Management Tools, Usage Statistics and Parental Control.
