FocusLock helps you limit distracting apps and protect time for work, study and rest. APP RESTRICTIONS Choose apps, categories and websites, then set recurring lock hours by weekday. Rule cards show whether restrictions are active, waiting for a schedule, or need permission or app selection. Manage saved selections individually, including selections for uninstalled apps. DAILY UNLOCK QUOTA Quota rules keep selected apps locked while enabled. Use your daily quota to start a temporary unlock. Time counts down continuously after unlocking, even when you are not using those apps. End the unlock early to save remaining time. Optionally reduce the allowance each week. STRICT MODE Protect active rules from edits, deletion and disabling. Quota rules stay protected while enabled. The emergency process requires waiting and confirmation, then disables the rule and its strict mode. You must manually turn them on again. FOCUS TIMER Choose a focus and break duration, with optional sound and wallpaper. Link a rule to restrict its selected apps during focus. Return to the app while the countdown continues. Start focus from widgets, Control Center, Siri, Shortcuts or Spotlight. Live Activities and, on supported iOS versions, AlarmKit help you follow the countdown. PROGRESS AND PRIVACY Review focus time, completed sessions, automatic lock events, streaks and achievements. Automatic lock events are schedule executions, not attempts to open blocked apps. Apple's Screen Time report shows on-device activity data. App selections stay on each device. Rule metadata and focus history can sync through your private iCloud account. No third-party analytics, ads or tracking. Supports 50 languages, light and dark themes, and iPad layouts. App restrictions require Screen Time authorization. System features vary by iOS version and device.
