Description
FocusPass blocks the apps you choose using Apple's Screen Time. Opening one shows a native shield with two choices: Go Back, or use a short timed Pass with an optional reason. The relock is scheduled with iOS before the app opens, so protection resumes when the Pass ends even if FocusPass is closed. Free forever: shields, Go Back, timed Passes, automatic relocking, one Wallet, one Focus Zone and one Deep Focus session a day. No account, no ads.
