## What is Ankor?

ANKOR gives your phone a fixed place, and that changes everything.

As long as your phone has no real place, it stays half in your hand and half in your mind. ANKOR breaks that loop. You place it on the dock, a session starts, and the apps pulling at your attention go quiet. You pick it up with intention. You put it down the same way.

HOW IT WORKS
Scan your ANKOR to start a Session. Selected apps are blocked, notifications are muted. When you need your phone, scan it again to unblock. 

REQUIRES
The ANKOR, a physical object, sold separately. The app is the companion to the hardware.

ANKOR MEMBER
With an ANKOR the app is free: anchoring, three profiles, Friends, one emergency exit and the analysis of your phone time with its notices. With ANKOR Member you decide when your phone goes quiet and when it opens again: schedules that anchor by themselves, as many profiles as you like, your pattern and your apps in Analysis, your status for friends, ANKOR Family for parents and emergency exits without a limit. Without an ANKOR, Member unlocks the whole app.

ANKOR Member comes as a monthly or yearly subscription, and the first month is free. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can cancel at any time in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.18.0 — 2026-10-07

Smart profiles (Member): ANKOR works out which apps distract you and proposes the right profile.

Time windows: anchor inside a profile's time window and that profile applies.

The 3-minute pause now counts down on your Lock Screen.

New: ANKOR as a button on your Lock Screen.

### 1.17.2 — 2026-10-06

• Anchoring feels right again: the ring grows, draws together and springs open, in step with the vibration.
• ANKORED is calm now: the ring closes and stays white, no red.
• Dynamic Island: just the ring, no dot.
• Small fixes.

### 1.17.1 — 2026-10-06

• Anchoring and releasing are smoother: the ring turns red right away, without a pause.
• While your phone hangs, the screen simply says ANKORED and your profile.
• Small fixes.

### 1.17.0 — 2026-10-05

Simpler and clearer.

• Start shows how it works: tap the ring and hold your phone to your ANKOR.
• ANKORED is a state, not a timer. Nothing counts while your phone hangs.
• New ring for the Lock Screen: one tap opens the scan.
• Profiles, Analysis and Together are tidied up. You are now a row in the monthly list.
• Settings are grouped more clearly.
• New widgets for your week and your friends.
• Many fixes around starting and ending a lock.

### 1.16.0 — 2026-10-05

New: the ANKOR ring for your Lock Screen. One tap opens the scan, and all that is left is to hold your iPhone to the ANKOR. Settings shows how to add it.

• Two new widgets: your week on the ANKOR, and which friends are on theirs right now.
• During a lock you can now open Analysis and Together.
• In Analysis, ANKORED is red and your phone time stays light.
• Starting and ending a lock in the app runs more smoothly.
