This is a smart focus and digital wellbeing app that helps you cut distractions and stay in flow. With flexible time-based rules, you can automatically limit access to distracting apps during work, study or sleep. ◆ Focus Control • Manual Mode – Quickly enable or disable focus rules for selected app groups with a single tap. Perfect for on-demand focus sessions. • Time Mode – Schedule focus sessions (e.g., 09:00–12:00 on weekdays) and let the app automatically restrict distracting apps at those times. Rules run in the background even when the app is closed. • Schedule-based Restrictions – Set specific time windows when apps are automatically locked. Ideal for work hours, study sessions, or sleep time. • Daily Usage Limits – Set daily time limits for app groups. Once the limit is reached, apps are automatically restricted for the rest of the day. ◆ SafeBox – Private Storage • Encrypted Photo & Video Albums – Safely store your private photos and videos in encrypted albums. Create custom albums and organize your memories with complete privacy protection. • Private Contacts – Keep important contacts secure and separate from your regular address book. Import contacts and manage them privately. • Local Encryption – All SafeBox data is encrypted and stored locally on your device. No data is uploaded to servers. ◆ System Control Tools • Block App Deletion – Prevent apps from being deleted from your device. • Block App Installation – Control which apps can be installed on your device. • Block Payments – Require password authentication for all App Store purchases and block in-app purchases. • Block Account Changes – Lock account settings to prevent unauthorized modifications. • Block Date & Time Changes – Prevent tampering with device date and time settings. • Game Center Controls – Block multiplayer gaming and prevent adding Game Center friends. • Content Filtering – Block explicit content and set age rating restrictions for App Store downloads. • Siri Control – Disable Siri access when needed. ◆ Intruder Detection • Auto-capture photos when incorrect password is entered, helping you monitor unauthorized access attempts. ◆ How it works This app uses Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls framework: • You pick the apps or categories you want to manage with FamilyActivityPicker. • The app applies Screen Time restrictions through the official ManagedSettings APIs. • A Device Activity extension allows time-based rules to run even when the main app is closed. All changes are fully under your control: you can edit, pause or delete any rule at any time. ◆ Privacy • No user data is uploaded to servers. • No third-party analytics, ads or tracking SDKs. • All configuration data (groups, schedules, preferences, SafeBox content) is stored locally on your device with encryption. This app is designed purely to help you build better focus habits, reduce time-wasting app usage and improve your digital wellbeing.
