## What is Stillpoint?

Stillpoint is a calmer, stricter focus blocker. Block distracting apps and sites, run focus sessions for deep work and study, and follow recurring schedules so attention becomes a habit, not a fight.

FOCUS BLOCKER
- One-tap focus sessions that shield the apps and categories you choose
- Built on Apple Screen Time so blocks apply system-wide
- Block websites in Safari and content categories, not just individual apps

WEEKLY SCHEDULES
- Plan focus windows by day for the week ahead
- Recurring blocks switch on automatically through the Monitor extension
- Cover study sprints, deep work mornings, evening doomscroll windows, or sleep wind-down

STRONGER PROTECTION
- Block locks make sessions harder to abandon
- Face ID, Touch ID, and PIN gate the controls that would otherwise let you exit early
- App Uninstall Protection blocks removal of distracting apps while a session is running
- Screen Time passcode guidance closes the most common backdoor

CALMER PROGRESS
- Streaks, focus time, and completed sessions tracked over time
- A clear weekly chart shows real progress, not noise
- A custom dark-blue shield surface keeps the experience consistent

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No analytics, no ad SDKs, no third-party trackers
- State is stored locally in the app's secure container
- Sign in with Apple is optional and only used to save progress later

Stillpoint Pro and Stillpoint Lifetime unlock advanced schedules and stronger protection. Use the free tier to try the core focus blocker first.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-10

Stillpoint 1.0.7 adds advanced weekly scheduling, so each enabled weekday can use its own focus window while the shared-time setup stays quick and simple. Cross-midnight overlaps are caught before saving, and usage allowances adapt to the shortest custom day. Home and Progress now update focus minutes, session count, weekly charts, best day, and average session length live for both scheduled blocks and manually started sessions. Scheduled progress survives backgrounding and relaunching, overlapping schedules never double-count focus time, and long totals stay readable in hours and minutes. Block locks can now use a code as the lock itself or as a break-glass way to unlock a date-based or active-session lock early, with clearer schedule summaries and lock guidance throughout the app.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-06-04

Stillpoint 1.0.6 helps you keep your focus going. Your Progress tab now splits each day into focus and distraction, and a new coaching card turns your streak into a clear next step with your record to beat, your daily focus average, and your active days. Start a focus block your way by picking the exact block list and a 20, 45, or 90 minute length. Back up and restore your setup across devices with iCloud. A new Defense Checklist guides you to lock the exits, and you can now turn on Screen Time any time from Settings if you skipped it during setup.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-05-25

A calmer phone starts here

### 1.0.4 — 2026-05-18

Plan focus windows day by day with the new weekly planner that opens straight to the day you tap. Streamlined onboarding so first-run reaches your first block faster. Polished Blocks and Settings screens, plus a sharper App Store listing that better explains what Stillpoint does.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-05-15

Refreshes the weekly schedule with a clearer day view, smooths the onboarding flow, and fixes scrolling on the Blocks screen.
