• Schedules now run natively in iOS. Your reading gates stay on schedule even when the app is closed. • End a break early. Tap "Done. Lock my apps." in the app, or "Lock apps now" right from the Live Activity. • More reliable blocking. Apps you select get gated every time, even if you leave the screen right away. • A smoother launch and a cleaner look. Screen time becomes learning time.

Readgate now has much more to read: the curated article pool has grown to over 1000 topics across science, psychology, productivity, finance, history, culture, and more.
