How can we help?

Why does InwardFocus ask for Screen Time permission?

InwardFocus uses Apple's Screen Time technology to block the apps you choose during your focus schedules. This permission is used only to apply the blocks you set up — everything happens on your device, and we never see which apps you block.

Blocking isn't working — what should I check?

1. Make sure Screen Time is enabled on your iPhone (Settings > Screen Time).
2. Confirm you granted InwardFocus permission when prompted (you can re-trigger this from the app's settings).
3. Check that your focus schedule covers the current time and that you selected at least one app to block.
4. If it still doesn't work, restart your iPhone — Screen Time occasionally needs a restart after iOS updates.

What is "Request 10 Minutes"?

If you truly need a blocked app during a focus session, tap "Request 10 Minutes" on the block screen. Blocking pauses for 10 minutes, then resumes automatically.

How do I add the affirmation widget?

Touch and hold your home screen, tap the "Edit" button then "Add Widget", search for InwardFocus, and choose a size. Your current affirmation will rotate throughout the day.

Does InwardFocus collect my data?

Your schedules and blocked-app choices never leave your iPhone. We collect only anonymous usage analytics to improve the app. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

How do I delete my data?

Deleting the app removes all locally stored data automatically. For anything else (like an early-access signup), email us and we'll take care of it within 30 days.

Which devices are supported?

InwardFocus supports iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Screen Time must be enabled for blocking to work.
