New: Family Pro — share ACCESS Pro with up to five family members through Apple Family Sharing. Everyone's apps, rules and usage stay private on their own device. Your apps stay open. The scroll has a bottom. ACCESS lets you use chosen apps normally while iOS counts the time you actually spend in them. When your minutes run out, those apps lock for the length you chose. When the lock ends, they open again automatically. HOW IT WORKS • Choose the app or apps that eat your time. • Use them normally — there is no session to start. • Their real usage shares one minute budget. • When the budget reaches zero, iOS closes the door. • When the lock ends, the apps reopen by themselves. Strict mode is on by default: while it's on, a Lock has no way out — it ends on the clock you chose, then your apps reopen automatically. Turn Strict off and Settings keeps two deliberate exits: "End this Lock early", and a five-minute Emergency unlock that pauses the Lock and lets it finish afterwards. BASIC Basic is free forever and includes the complete Balanced cycle for one app: • Editable usage minutes • The Balanced lock rule — 15 min of use, 30 min locked • Live countdown • Automatic unlock • Strict mode — on by default, yours to turn off PRO Pro adds: • As many selected apps as you like • Custom lock lengths • Up to eight Breaks and eight Quiet-hours schedules • A daily usage cap • Month/year history and widgets Choose Individual Pro for your Apple Account, or Family Pro to share the Pro entitlement with up to five additional members through Apple Family Sharing. Family Sharing shares only the subscription: every member authorizes Screen Time and keeps their own apps, rules and usage private on their device. SETTING UP FAMILY PRO 1. The purchaser needs an Apple Family Sharing group with purchase sharing turned on (iOS Settings → Family). 2. Purchase Family Pro on the purchaser's Apple Account. 3. Each family member installs ACCESS with their own Apple Account, opens it, and allows Screen Time. 4. Pro unlocks automatically; Restore Purchases in the app is the fallback. The purchaser controls sharing and billing. A family member can also buy their own separate plan at any time. Eligible Apple IDs may receive a three-day trial. Introductory-offer eligibility applies once across the ACCESS Pro subscription group, whether you choose Individual or Family. Apple shows the exact plan, local price, trial eligibility and renewal terms before confirmation. YOUR WEEK, WITHOUT MADE-UP SAVINGS ACCESS shows Screen Time information measured by iOS and literal events it recorded on your phone, including automatic Locks and Break starts. It does not turn Lock duration into a fictional “time saved” number. PRIVACY BY DESIGN ACCESS asks for Screen Time permission so iOS can count and shield the apps you select. Apple gives ACCESS opaque selection tokens instead of a readable list for collection or upload. There is no account, advertising, analytics or ACCESS server. Your settings and event history stay on your phone. ACCESS is for people managing their own iPhone. It is not parental-control software.

The Family plan is here. • Family Pro — one subscription, shared with up to five family members through Apple Family Sharing. Sharing covers Pro access only: everyone keeps their own apps, rules and usage private on their own device. • Strict mode: on by default, a Lock has no way out until it ends. Turn Strict off to keep two deliberate exits in Settings — "End this Lock early", and an Emergency unlock that pauses a Lock for five minutes. • Lock lengths are shown as plain durations — "30 min", never "2×". • Breaks (formerly open hours), a simpler setup, and an AM/PM clock face. • Reliability work throughout: counting, shields and widgets survive restarts and edge cases better than ever.
