Block distracting apps when you need to concentrate, and get straight to your search when you need to look something up. Spend less time getting sidetracked and more time doing what you came to do. MAKE ROOM TO CONCENTRATE An exam to study for. A report to finish. A few pages to read before bed. Choose the apps that tend to pull you in, then set the days and times to block them. Your plans run on schedule, so you can give the task in front of you your attention. FIND WHAT YOU CAME FOR Look up a topic, find a tutorial, try a new recipe, or check out a place to eat. Enter your keywords to open the search page in a supported app or website, with fewer detours through recommendation feeds. Start with what you want to find, then get on with your day. GET STARTED, AT YOUR OWN PACE Set a countdown for a chapter, a practice question, or a piece of work. Prefer to keep going? Use the count-up timer instead. Add white noise and block distracting apps during your session to help you stay with it. Look back on your focus sessions and achievements, or explore the past seven days of usage on this device. See where your time goes and decide what you'd like to make room for next. Less scrolling. More time for what you want to do. —— App blocking and device usage reports require Screen Time permission.
