## What is Roam?

Roam blocks distracting apps and websites where you need to focus, and lets them go when you leave.

Pick a place (home, office, library, school) and what to block there. When you arrive, Roam locks it. When you leave, it comes back. No timers to remember.

Set a schedule for each place: work hours at the office, evenings at home. Need to focus right now? Start a Quick Block for the apps and websites you choose. Need a breather? Take a 5-minute break. Really need in? Type a pause code, so every unlock is on purpose. Pick Gentle, Firm or Strict, or set your own.

Roam uses Apple's Screen Time and your location. Your rules follow your day without you thinking about them.

Try everything free for 14 days. After that, one schedule stays free; places and unlimited schedules need a subscription ($29.99 a year or $4.99 a month).

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.4 — 2026-11-03

Breaks, Quick Blocks and pauses now end on time even when Roam is closed: your blocks come back the moment they end, and Roam tells you when a break is over. You enter your passcode once, when you save a schedule, and nowhere else.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-11-02

Tapping the dimmed area outside a sheet now closes it, and the Today paywall shows a close button.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-31

Roam now asks for a rating after a finished Quick block, once. Plus a fresh look on the App Store.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-29

Improvements and fixes.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-14

Smoother setup and clearer guidance.

• Screen Time no longer asks twice. If you have already granted access, Roam goes straight to choosing Apps & Websites, and the picker opens reliably right after you allow access.

• Enabling your first Focus Zone now requests location in the right order, so the Location setting is ready when you need it.

• Clearer messages. Cancelling a purchase no longer shows an error, and guidance about restoring purchases or granting permissions now tells you what to do next.

• Smaller download.
