Set how long. Slide the right bar down and your session starts. Those apps stay locked until the time is up. UNINTERRUPTED There is no stop button, so a pause stays a pause. If something truly can't wait, Emergency Mode ends a session early, twice in any seven days. YOUR CHOICE OF APPS You pick exactly what gets blocked with Apple's Screen Time app picker. Everything else, like calls and messages, stays available. ROUTINE Block the same apps on the days and hours you choose, automatically.
