hesitate – Lock Apps & Focus

hesitate locks the apps you choose while you focus, so you can stay on task. ■ How it works · Pick a set length, like 25 min, and focus for that long. · Set any length from 1 min to 3 hr 59 min. 5, 10, 15, 25, 45 and 60 min are one tap away. · Give the task you're focusing on a name and a color, and group tasks into projects. Or just start without one. ■ History and sharing · Every day you complete a session counts as a focus day, and History shows your focus time in detail. · Turn your focus time into a card image and send it to others. You can use your own photo, too. · Export your whole history as a CSV file to keep for yourself. · iCloud backup is on by default. Your history stays even if you switch phones or reinstall the app. ■ Unlock if it's urgent · Press and hold "Hold for Urgent Unlock" at the bottom of the session screen for 2 seconds to unlock. · Only half of that session's time is logged, and the session doesn't count toward a focus day. ■ Widgets and Live Activities · See today's focus time and this week's total on Lock Screen widgets (circular and rectangular) and a small Home Screen widget. During a session, they show the time left. · The Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island (on iPhones that have one) also show the time left while a session runs. · You'll get a notification when a session ends. ■ Why hesitate needs Screen Time access · To lock apps, hesitate uses Screen Time on your iPhone. You turn it on yourself on your iPhone, and you choose the apps to lock in Apple's picker. · hesitate never reads which apps you use or for how long. It stores only a reference to each app you picked, on this iPhone, and Screen Time data never leaves your device. · hesitate is for keeping a promise to yourself, so turning off Screen Time access or deleting the app lifts the locks. ■ Ads and privacy · The app is free, and locking apps never costs anything. · The only ad is a single banner on the result screen after a session. There are no ads on Home or during a session. · Your focus history and Screen Time data are never used for ads. Loading an ad does send Google, the ad company, some device information such as your IP address. Details are in the privacy policy. · There's no account to create, and the developer runs no server. Your history lives only on this iPhone and in your iCloud. Questions? Send them from "Contact Us" in the app's Settings.
