This update brings a smoother, more polished, and more reliable blocking and reading experience. We’ve improved the onboarding journey, simplified the post-reading and unlock flows, and added quicker challenges with more flexible unlock timing. App and category blocking now work more consistently, while clearer feedback and refined Live Activities make active unlock sessions easier to follow. You’ll also notice refreshed visuals, improved layouts, and many small usability enhancements throughout the app.

• 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.
