FAQ
What is Circuit's main purpose?
Circuit is designed to help users reduce phone distractions by blocking access to selected apps and websites. It aims to improve focus and productivity by creating friction against habitual scrolling.
How does Circuit's blocking mechanism work?
Circuit utilizes Apple's Screen Time framework to block apps. When a blocked app is accessed, it won't open until the set timer expires or a specified condition is met, such as typing a sentence.
Can I set specific times for Circuit to block apps?
Yes, Circuit allows you to create custom schedules for blocking apps. You can set specific hours for activities like studying, working, or sleeping, and the app will automatically enforce these blocks.
What is 'Strict Mode' in Circuit?
Strict Mode is a feature designed for critical focus sessions. When enabled, it prevents any early exit from a blocking session, ensuring that your focus time is not interrupted.
Does Circuit have ads?
No, Circuit does not contain advertisements. The app is free to use with optional in-app purchases for advanced features.
How does Circuit handle essential apps?
Circuit includes an 'Always Allowed' feature, enabling you to designate certain apps, like banking or navigation apps, that will never be blocked, regardless of active focus sessions.
What kind of motivational elements does Circuit offer?
Circuit rewards users with 'Legendary Coins' for achieving milestones, such as completing focus schedules. Each coin represents historical artifacts and unlocks stories about their origins.
Is Circuit's data private?
Yes, Circuit is designed to be private by construction. It operates through Apple's Screen Time and does not see which apps you select, keeping your choices, schedules, and stats on your device.
