What's New in Haven
1.5.0
September 13, 2026
Haven 1.5 — the door out. • New: after you move, a third choice — "Do something else instead." Haven steps aside, your apps stay blocked, and you go do the real thing. Most of the time you didn't need the phone. • The number at decision time: how many guided unblocks you have left now shows on the home screen and right where you choose. • New in Settings: "About blocking limits" — a plain-words list of what Apple's Screen Time system can and can't do. • Honest copy: your settings live on this device (we removed an iCloud mention that wasn't true), and the premium page now promises only what exists. • Privacy declarations updated to describe exactly which anonymous diagnostics the app collects. • Reliability: a break can't start unless its relock is armed; your 24-hour Settings Lock now survives reinstall; a storage hiccup can no longer drop your shields; reps count once; and the weekly number is now how often you chose to wait — not how much you unlocked. No streaks. No shame. Just the pause — and now, the door out.

FAQ
What is Haven's core feature for reducing screen time?
