## What is FocusMe?

FocusMe blocks the apps and websites that pull you away from what matters, and makes it hard to give in.

Build a plan in four steps:
• What to block: pick apps and categories, or type the websites you want gone.
• When it runs: start a Quick Timer, or set a weekly schedule, overnight included.
• How strict: from Unlocked to Lock it Down, where stopping takes 25 random characters typed perfectly.
• Review, then create it and switch it on.

Choose how each plan blocks:
• Block: everything on the list stays blocked while the plan runs.
• Time Limit: use your blocked apps for a set time each day or hour, then they're blocked.
• Session Limit: a few short sessions a day, with breaks in between.

Make stopping a decision, not a reflex. Gentle Guidance asks you to type 5 random characters; Firm but Flexible asks for 10.

See where your time goes: the Activity tab shows your app usage and the apps FocusMe blocked.

Blocking is enforced by iOS Screen Time, so it keeps working even when FocusMe is closed. Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.6.0 — 2026-10-13

- A plan that blocks your whole iPhone, or allows only your list of apps, can now leave the apps you choose open, such as WhatsApp.
- A plan's website setting, Block my list or Allow only my list, now stays the same on your iPhone and your computers.
- Time Limits can now use a custom period, such as 40 minutes every 10 hours, as on your computer.
- Overnight schedules now run from each evening into the next morning, so a Monday to Friday 22:00 to 07:00 plan ends on Saturday morning.

### 5.5.7 — 2026-10-07

- Plans that run all day, every day no longer stop new plans from starting.
- When your own commitment settings mean a stop request can't be sent right now, FocusMe explains why and still lets you report a plan that isn't working as it should.
- Changes FocusMe Support makes to your plans now reach this iPhone reliably, and a plan deleted from your account no longer comes back.

### 5.5.6 — 2026-10-06

- When your own commitment settings mean a stop request can't be sent right now, FocusMe explains why and still lets you report a plan that isn't working as it should.
- Changes FocusMe Support makes to your plans now reach this iPhone reliably, and a plan deleted from your account no longer comes back.

### 5.5.0 — 2026-10-06

- Changing a running plan away from your own password now always asks for that password first.
- Plans stopped with an Assisted Stop code no longer restart on your computer at the next daily start.
- Setting a schedule's start and end times now uses scroll wheels on a full-height screen, so the times are easy to set and confirm.
- Stopping a plan while it is on standby now uses the plan's standby protection, as on your computer. In the minutes before a scheduled plan starts, its full protection still applies.
- When a plan holds more than the 50 apps iOS can block, the newest apps are the ones left out, so adding an app never unblocks one that is already blocked. Editing a plan now lists every app by name, with any not blocked on this iPhone shown separately.
- A Time Limit or Session Limit with no apps picked on this iPhone no longer blocks its typed websites here. Time and session limits on typed websites apply on computers.
- Choose separately whether a plan appears on new computers and on new phones and tablets. Each iPhone now has its own switch in a plan, and when you first sign in, unlocked plans from your other devices wait until you add them.
- Subscribing before you have a FocusMe account now creates the account straight away, with a code sent to your email to confirm the address.
- Forgot password now opens focusme.com to reset it.

### 5.4.3 — 2026-10-02

- Plans with a website list now block only the sites on the list. Before, iOS also added its adult-content filter, which could block other sites as well.
- The block screen names a plan only when that plan blocks the app or site you opened; otherwise it shows Blocked by FocusMe.
- The 50 websites and 50 apps iOS can block at once are now shared only among plans that are blocking right now, and a plan already blocking keeps its share.
- Plans that run on several weekdays no longer use up the schedules iOS allows, so a new plan starts instead of being refused.
- New: Get help with a plan. When a plan is locked and can't be stopped, ask FocusMe Support from the app to stop it or fix it.
- Each plan card now says what its ring shows: time left, limit left, time until start, timer length or sessions.
