Update regarding Legal: Privacy: Hello App Review Team, Thank you for your feedback. We determined that the current version does not require access to Motion & Fitness Activity information. We have therefore removed the Motion & Fitness permission request and its usage-description entry. We also revised onboarding to request notification permission instead. The explanatory screen now uses a neutral “Continue” action that proceeds directly to Apple’s native permission dialog, without a “Maybe Later” or dismiss option. Notifications are used for focus-session alerts and remain fully controlled by the user through iOS settings. Thank you for reviewing the updated submission. ------------------- Lockd helps you focus by blocking distracting apps and catching the mindless phone pickups that break your concentration.
