A fresh new look across every tab, with real app logos on your dashboard and six color themes to choose from. Schedules can now run overnight, so you can block from 10 PM to 11 AM in a single schedule, and everyone gets a fresh schedule tune-up with this update. Your circle's updates now show in full instead of getting cut off, app names on the dashboard are centered, and the theme picker shows each palette's real color. Plus smoother browsing and lots of small fixes.

Schedules are easier to untangle. There's a new Clear all schedules button, and when you change what time your day resets, the setting now shows the hour you picked instead of jumping back to the old one. If you ask your circle to unlock something, you can now take it back from your own row as long as nobody has answered yet. NoStim now double checks that every open has its timer set. In the rare case it doesn't, you'll get a notification a few minutes after the open should have ended. Tap it and the shield goes back up. Self check will also show you when this happened.

Sharing pickups is gone. The number iOS shows you is still on the Circles screen — it's yours to look at, and nothing about it reaches anyone else. Reporting it meant picking up your phone to say you'd picked up your phone, which never quite made sense. Your own row in a circle now updates the moment you say something, instead of waiting for iCloud to echo it back. Two fixes you won't see. A schedule set to "outside these hours, at most one open" was starting its count again at midnight, so an overnight limit of one was handing out two. And a schedule that switches blocking on while your main switch is off no longer flickers — the app and its background check were disagreeing about which one won.

Build a schedule in one sitting. A new schedule now waits once, as a whole, instead of every change you make waiting on its own. Nothing queues while you set it up, and the editor tells you when it starts. One that only tightens can start straight away. Also fixed: your opens no longer reset early when your day starts at an hour you picked, locked hours keep their times when the clocks change, reordering your schedules now actually takes effect, and the self-check screen no longer reports iCloud as fine when it isn't.

Schedules Everything time-based now lives in one place: More → Schedules. A schedule is which apps, which days, which hours, and what changes — so you can set every blocked app at once, or just a few, without going into each app one at a time. • Hours, not only days. "Blocking off after 4 PM on weekdays" is now something you can say. • "Opens in these hours" — at most this many opens after a time you choose, counted across every app you've blocked, whatever you saved up earlier in the day. • Changing a schedule so it frees more now waits out the ratchet, and an armed settings lock holds it. Making one stricter still lands straight away. Fixes • The cooldown between opens now holds. It was failing whenever a session ended with NoStim closed, which is most of the time. • Instagram in the portal no longer goes blank as you scroll. • A mode's shields come back on their own if they lapse, instead of waiting for you to open the app. • Deleting a mode while it's running no longer stops other modes from starting. • A second person's approval code works even if someone else answered in the same minute. • Restore Purchases says what happened instead of appearing to do nothing. • NoStim tells you if notifications are off, since the shield's "Open NoStim" button needs them to reach you.

Being approved now actually lets you fix things. When someone approves your ask, your waits pause for 30 minutes so you can set an app up properly — no bypass, no streak lost. Before, you got past the lock and then hit a three-day delay nobody mentioned. Asking to unlock lives in Together now, and it's one list: everyone you've paired with, plus anyone with NoStim. Every approver shows up, not just the first one. Your circle gets notified when you ask to unlock, and sees why — so a reason is now required before you can ask. A newly blocked app can be set up the way you want, even with the lock on. Before, anything you added was stuck at 3 opens of 5 minutes and could only go stricter. Bug fixes and improvements.

- A Focus can now start a mode for you. Set it up in Settings → Focus → Focus Filters → NoStim. Because Focus syncs between your devices, it can lock your other devices at the same time. - Siri now reliably knows the modes you already built — "Hey Siri, start At the gym in NoStim" - Your pickups now show as a daily average, right where you share them - Bug fixes and improvements

- Start any of your modes with Siri, the Action Button, or a Home Screen shortcut — just say "Hey Siri, start At the gym in NoStim" - Manage NoStim Pro right inside the app: redeem codes any time, restore purchases, switch to lifetime, or cancel - Share your weekly pickups with your circle, in your own words - Let your circle see when you're in a mode, if you want them to - Bug fixes and improvements

- New: build your own lockdown modes — "I'm eating," "At the gym," or anything else — right from the Apps tab - Fixed: partner unlock requests now show the correct names - Fixed: your circle is now notified when you ask to unlock, and the request stays visible after it's answered - Bug fixes and improvements

Ask for an unlock by texting, instead of reading codes to each other. • Send a request — with a reason if you want — to someone you've paired with, or to anyone using NoStim. They tap Approve or Deny and send it back, and either of you can add a message. • Add backup approvers, so you're not stuck when one person can't answer. • Your circle can now see when you've asked for an unlock, and why. • The session timer no longer appears on the Lock Screen or in notifications. Fixes: • Blocked apps could unlock themselves and stay unlocked until you reopened NoStim. • The partner code box wouldn't accept the code you'd been given.

Fixed a bug where blocked apps could quietly unlock themselves and stay unlocked until you opened NoStim again. Blocking now stays on whenever NoStim isn't certain what your settings say. The settings lock can now be made longer while it's already running — before, you had to wait for it to expire before you could extend it. A lock still can never be made shorter. If you have a partner paired, their one-time code can now open any running lock, not only one that was locked to them from the start. Your iPad can now join your circles. Open Circles on the iPad and tap "Find my circles" — it joins as its own device with its own streak.

Fixed: the lock sometimes didn't come back after you used an open. It now re-arms reliably, and checks in far more often if anything slips. New: block adult websites, using Apple's own filter. Find it under More → Safari blocking. It stays on through comfort days, scroll days, and vacations. Circles are a group chat now. Give your circle a name everyone sees, and anyone in it can rename it, add people, or remove them. Your circle now shows how strict each person is set — gentle, middle, strict, or locked down — without revealing which apps anyone blocks.

A cleaner YouTube portal: your home feed is just videos — no community posts, promos, ads, or Shorts shelves. Circles can multiply: start or join as many as you'd like, each with different friends. Your streak and check-in stay the same everywhere. Lock an app completely: set opens per day to zero and there's no way in until you raise it. Blocked websites now appear in the Stats report alongside blocked apps. A simpler welcome: see what NoStim does, then two quick setup steps. Plus a lifetime unlock option for Pro.
