No willpower needed. **Works in Background** Once connected, Proxidate runs seamlessly in the background. No need to keep the app open. **Customizable Distance** Set your own proximity threshold - block apps when you're within 1 meter, 2 meters, or up to 5 meters apart. **Privacy First** All data stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Your information is never collected or shared. **Live Activity Support** See your connection status and distance right from your Lock Screen with Live Activities. **Perfect for:** • Date nights • Quality time at home • Meals together • Movie nights • Any moment you want to be fully present **Requirements:** • iPhone 11 or newer (for UWB support) • Both partners need Proxidate installed • iOS 16.0 or later
