FutureState Mobile Access vs Perimeter

Your campus or workplace credential, right on your iPhone and Apple Watch. FutureState Mobile Access Pass adds your Student ID or Employee Badge to Apple Wallet, so the card you used to dig out of a bag or clip to a lanyard is always with you. Tap to get where you're going. Leave the plastic at home. BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD This app works only if your school or employer offers mobile credentials through FutureState. If they don't, you won't be able to sign in. Check with your campus card office, ID office, or IT help desk if you're not sure. HOW IT WORKS - Sign in with the same account you use for school or work. - Confirm the credential you've been issued. - Add it to Apple Wallet. - That's it. Your pass is live the moment it lands in Wallet, with no activation step, no waiting for an overnight sync, and no help desk ticket to get started. WITH YOUR STUDENT ID Open residence hall doors, gates, and elevators. Get into the rec center, the library, labs, and events. Release print and copy jobs at campus printers. Pay at dining halls, cafés, vending machines, and campus stores using the accounts already attached to your card. Clock in and out of your campus job. WITH YOUR EMPLOYEE BADGE Open building entrances, secure floors, turnstiles, elevators, and parking garages. Release print and copy jobs at the office. Clock in and out and verify your shift where your employer uses time and attendance. Available features depend on what your school or employer has turned on. TAP WITHOUT UNLOCKING Your pass supports Express Mode, so you can hold your iPhone or Apple Watch near a reader and go. There's no need to wake the screen, unlock, or authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. It works the way your plastic card did, only faster. WORKS WHEN YOUR BATTERY DOESN'T With Power Reserve, your pass keeps working for up to five hours after your iPhone shows a low battery warning and turns itself off. A dead phone doesn't mean you're locked out of your building or your room. ON YOUR WRIST Add your credential to Apple Watch and tap through with your wrist alone. Useful at the gym, on a run between buildings, on a loading dock, or anywhere you'd rather not pull out your phone. PRIVATE AND SECURE Your credential is stored in Apple Wallet using the same secure hardware that protects Apple Pay. It's never shared with FutureState in a form we can read, and readers you tap only receive what they need to verify your access. Every credential is tied to your device and your account. If your iPhone or Apple Watch is lost or stolen, your school or employer can turn off your pass remotely, the same way they'd deactivate a lost plastic card. You can also use Find My to mark your device as lost, which suspends your credential until you get it back. Lost devices, replacement credentials, and access changes all follow your organization's existing policies, so there's nothing new to learn. IF YOU GET A NEW DEVICE Move your credential to a new iPhone or Apple Watch by signing in again and adding it to Wallet. Your old device's pass is retired automatically. REQUIREMENTS - An active affiliation with a school or employer that offers mobile credentials through FutureState. - An account in good standing with that organization - iPhone or Apple Watch with Apple Wallet - Apple Watch features require a paired iPhone NEED HELP? For anything about your credential itself, including eligibility, access rights, account balances, and lost devices, contact your school or employer directly. They manage what your credential can do.

Perimeter is the first comprehensive location-based screen time app. Set a rule once and forget about it: Perimeter turns distracting apps off where you want to be present and focused, and leaves them on when you're on the go and need your phone to work in our fast-paced world. A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER I'm Jack, founder of Perimeter, and I have been dreaming of building this app for over 10 years. I'm passionate about finding and developing solutions to help people regain balance with their devices. Perimeter is made by a small team that shares that mission. THE PROBLEM: CONSTANT CONNECTION We used to have TVs with a few channels that were on for an hour or two per day, and they stayed in the living room. We had a landline phone at home connected to the wall and a desktop computer in our office. Now we have all three combined into one device, with an infinite catalog of entertainment, news, and communication that follows us everywhere: into our kitchens, our bedrooms, our offices, and our friends' and family's homes. Our brains naturally respond to the environments we are in, good or bad. We think differently at the office vs. at home vs. out on the street. Until now, our smartphone has been configured the exact same way in all of those places. A DIFFERENT PHONE FOR EVERY PLACE Perimeter blocks distractions inside or outside the places where you want to be focused or present. It turns your phone into a different device at home vs. the office vs. in public, returning each place to what it's meant to be: home for rest and family time, the office for work. - Draw a perimeter around a place: home, the office, the bedroom - Choose the apps that don't belong there - Walk in and they pause. Walk out and they're back No more scrolling Instagram at work or at home. No more checking work email at home. SET IT ONCE. IT JUST WORKS. Unlike other screen time apps or Apple's built-in Screen Time, Perimeter doesn't block apps all the time or on a set schedule. Those lead to problems: needing apps when traveling or at work, rules that are easy to bypass, and the same blocking everywhere you go. Perimeter is context-aware. No more setting limits and then not being able to check in for a flight, authenticate a login, or find a taxi. Your full phone works on the go, and keeps things in check where it matters most. MORE THAN WILLPOWER For people who want more than willpower to regain control of their screen time, Perimeter has strong locking mechanisms: - A settings passcode, or hand your phone to someone you trust and let them set one you don't know - Turning Perimeter on never needs the passcode. Turning it off always does - Fail-safe by design: if location is switched off or permission is changed, apps stay blocked - Optional short breaks that can't be extended by quitting the app or changing the clock ONE STEP ON THE JOURNEY TO FREEDOM Perimeter is a first step. The goal is to keep taking steps toward more freedom from screens, going far beyond Perimeter: leaving your phone outside of your bedroom, setting Downtime for better sleep, having an accountability partner, rediscovering other hobbies, and starting to prefer time off the device to time on it. Pair it with a less distracting screen (a black and white filter) and a Downtime that reduces your phone to the basics while you sleep. Combine it with iOS Screen Time limits for the most comprehensive system, with Perimeter providing the context for what should be blocked when. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No servers. No analytics. Your location never leaves your iPhone. Apple's Screen Time pauses the apps, and Perimeter never sees what you do inside them. FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME We're providing Perimeter free of charge for a limited time, in the hope of introducing the world to a new paradigm of context-aware screen time: like having different devices tuned for the different places you go.
