See when your friends are available and signal when you need a break - to live your social life in full. Send a signal to a group of people you choose and have a spontaneous audio chat, grab a cup of coffee together or meet for lunch to catch up.

Looks great! Im not a big fan of requiring me to give access to my contacts. Any plans to create a sign up link I could send to my friends to ask them to join instead?
Bjoggi Gudmundsson
@ryanpatrick323 We understand. Privacy is our top priority. Yes, that's one thing we want to do. Meanwhile you can just text your friends this link www.break.is and ask them to download the app and then add them to your visibility list.

Hi @bjoggi_gudmundsson , how do you think you would be able to move users from their current established channels (whatsapp/slack/chats etc) to this product?

This would be helpful. If I had that many friends.
Bjoggi Gudmundsson
@grandwastaken @marynotj haha. We know. But they will come and you can also invite them to join you. It is a lot of fun when you see more and more of your friends available for a break. And see breaks form others.

As Covid hit last year and our social lives got pretty much pulled away from us we started wondering what might be the best way to keep in touch with our social circles, especially beyond the usual suspects we had in Messenger and Snapchat groups. That's when we discovered the gap between direct communication and social media. Break is a new way to have spontaneous connections with a larger group of people. When you create a break you signal a group of friends, extended family members or co-workers that you are available. See whats is going on in your social network and join if you feel like, Take a break - and enjoy your social life.

@bjoggi_gudmundsson Amazing! I am developing an all-new way real-time message application, which allows people share everything they see in the physical and digital worlds through the camera. The concept of our products is very similar to yours. If you don't mind, I wish that we can exchange experiences related to our fields.

@bjoggi_gudmundsson is it a new social network or it is a gateway to a lot of others SN with possibilities to block some of them for a break?
Bjoggi Gudmundsson
@new_user_3272e3d66589d Exciting. Is the app out yet or are you still working on it? But lets stay in touch.
Buzz Lee
@bjoggi_gudmundsson This app is still a demo version, but it will be available soon. Could you give me your email address or other contact information? My email address is lqfxxy@outlook.com.

Good luck on launch! Q: What about monetization?
Bjoggi Gudmundsson
@andew_slobodianiuk Thanks a lot. We have several ideas how that will go in the future, but right now the team is focusing on the development of the application. Exciting updates ahead.

To be honest - this is such a refreshment! *_* Really, like a reminder: not to sink under the pressure of this new lifestyle we are obligated to accept, in the rush of time, and a bunch of duties... Such a nice and creative call to stay connected and not neglect social lives, even on distances.. ^_^ Bravo for realizing this idea, and bravo for the launch! ^_^
Bjoggi Gudmundsson
@maria_brm So true! Thank you. We are happy that this idea has come through
Maria
@bjoggi_gudmundsson Me too, big congratulations! And I wish you all the luck in the further development and incoming ideas! ^_^
