• Disconnect now speaks 14 more languages: French, German, Italian, Spanish (Spain and Mexico), Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, Turkish, Polish and Russian. The app, the screen you see when an app is blocked, the widget and Siri all follow your iPhone's language automatically. • Fixed: when your buddy's name isn't available, lock screens no longer show a gap where it should be ("Asked to unblock Instagram"). They now say "your buddy" instead. Thanks for using Disconnect. Have feedback? We read everything — it shapes what we build next.

• Ask for the time you need. With Pro, when you ask your buddy to unlock a hard rule, you can pick 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or a custom time. Your buddy sees it in the app ready to approve in one tap, or can choose a different time. • Soft and medium rules now re-lock an hour after you unlock them, so a quick break doesn't quietly last the rest of the day. Prefer the old way? Turn off "Re-lock after 1 hour" in the rule's details while the rule isn't active. • Fixed: the approval screen no longer shows one minute more than your buddy gave you. • Approve from your Apple Watch. When your buddy asks for more time, "Approve 15 min" now appears on your watch next to Deny, and your answer reliably goes through. • A fresh look for the cards at the top of your home screen, and you can now tap anywhere on a card to act on it. • Disconnect now runs on iPad. Create rules, approve your buddy's requests, and check what's blocked on the bigger screen. • Fixed: the home screen widget no longer squeezes the headline on smaller iPhones, and it uses the extra width properly on iPad. A note on iPad: Screen Time rules are set per device, so your iPad needs its own. Your buddy and your Pro subscription carry across both. Thanks for using Disconnect. Have feedback?

• Your buddy no longer needs an iPhone. Send them an invite link and they can approve your unlock requests from any browser — no app to install, no password to remember. • Clearer invite messages: when a link doesn't work, you're told exactly why instead of getting a generic error. • Fixed: changing the hours on a rule that isn't currently running no longer locks editing before you've saved. • Fixed: long rule names and schedules are no longer cut off on the home screen.

This release focuses on making buddy accountability rock-solid: • Hard locks now activate reliably — a rule assigned to a buddy no longer gets stuck on "waiting for your buddy" after they've accepted; it switches to a hard lock as soon as they're confirmed. • Clearer buddy messages — inviting, removing, or leaving a buddy (and unlock requests) now show friendly, plain-English messages instead of technical errors, and quietly retry when your connection is flaky. • Fixed a crash when sending an unlock request to your buddy on older iOS versions. • Faster paywall — the close button now works instantly. • More accurate request badges and assorted stability improvements. Thanks for using Disconnect! Tap "Something wrong?" on the app icon anytime to send us feedback.

New ways to stay focused without opening the app: • Home Screen widget — see your focus status at a glance: what's blocking now, what's paused, and when your next block starts. • Live Activity for timed unlocks — when you start a medium-lock countdown, it now lives on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, counting down and nudging you to stay on track. • Re-lock from the widget (Pro) — paused a rule and changed your mind? Re-lock it right from the Home Screen widget, no need to open the app. • Home Screen quick actions — press and hold the app icon to jump straight to creating a rule, reviewing buddy requests, or sending feedback. • Buddy request badges — the app icon now shows how many buddy requests are waiting for you, so nothing slips through. • Plus polish and reliability fixes throughout.

• A refreshed, faster Pro upgrade screen — clearer plan details, real member reviews, and promo/offer code redemption. • Pausing a blocking rule now runs for 15 minutes and re-locks on its own, reliably, even if the app is in the background. • Buddy unlocks are more dependable: once approved, access ends right on time and the block comes back automatically. • You can now cancel an unlock or deletion request you've sent to your buddy. • Fixed the "ask your buddy" flow on older iOS versions. • Refreshed app icon, splash, and onboarding visuals. • Assorted bug fixes and visual polish.
