Family setup, step by step
From “just me” to a family that helps — in six steps.
The family owner (admin) builds the group and decides who can help whom. Every timer someone starts for you still needs your OK.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Which phones does CleanBreak work on?
CleanBreak is available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. Your account and family work across both.
Can my family see where I am?
No. CleanBreak never uses location, camera or microphone. Family members only see timer status and can only do what you allow.
Is CleanBreak free?
Yes — the solo timer, alarms and reminders are free. Sharing with a partner or family is a premium subscription.
Can an iPhone user and an Android user be in the same family?
Yes. Families, invitations and timers sync across iOS and Android.
Can someone start a timer for me without asking?
No. A helper can only send a timer request if the family admin allowed it, and the timer runs only after you tap Accept. You can decline, and unanswered requests expire.
Who decides the permissions?
The family owner (admin). In Family → Permissions they choose a helper, who that helper can help, and switch on Start timer, Emergency stop and Send reminders individually.
How do I accept a family invitation?
Install the app, sign up with the same email the invite was sent to, then open Family → Invitations. More help.
How do I cancel a subscription?
On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. On Android: Google Play → Payments & subscriptions. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription.
How do I delete my account?
From Settings in the app, or follow the steps on our account deletion page.
