Less feed, one week at a time.
Spark Break spends the first week measuring what you actually use — then lowers your daily limit by 10% a week. When you reach it, the app asks for a minute. It doesn't lock you out of your life.

Three things happen, in this order.
Week one measures
No daily limit yet. The app builds a baseline from real days on your phone, not from what you guessed when you signed up. Short breaks still happen, so the loop is familiar before it costs anything.
Then it drops 10% a week
Each week your daily limit is a tenth lower than the last, and never lower than the target you chose — 90, 60 or 45 minutes. A hard week holds the limit where it is instead of pushing you further.
At the limit, one minute
Five long exhales, forty steps, or one sentence about what you'd rather be doing. Then you decide how much longer you want — nought, ten or twenty minutes. You set the number, not us.
A blocker you can't get past isn't a blocker. It's an app you delete.
Spark Break is built on the opposite bet: the pause is the product. There is always a way through — it just costs something, and it's written down.
The limit isn't a wall
You can always get in. Skipping works instantly and without guilt copy — it's simply counted, and the count is neutral in your weekly report.
No red zeros
Break a streak and you'll read "Day 1 again. Your best was 14." There are no failure screens, and the app will never push you a notification about losing anything.
The numbers say "about"
iOS tells apps when you cross a threshold, not what your exact minute count is. So we round and label it. Exact figures come from Apple's own Screen Time view inside the app.
