Frequently asked questions

How do I block apps on iPhone on a schedule?

Download InwardFocus, grant Screen Time permission, pick the apps that drain your energy, and create focus sessions — for example 9:00 AM to 11:45 AM. During each session iPhone blocks those apps automatically. You can set multiple schedules per day for work, mornings, and bedtime.

Can I block Instagram or TikTok at certain times of day?

Yes. InwardFocus lets you choose exactly which apps to block and when. A common setup blocks social media during work hours and again at bedtime, so scrolling is impossible when it hurts you most and available when you actually want it.

What happens when I try to open a blocked app?

Instead of the app, you see a calm block screen with an encouraging message and the name of your active focus session. If you really need access, you can request 10 minutes — enough for the important thing, not enough for a doomscroll.

How is InwardFocus different from other app blockers?

Most blockers punish you; InwardFocus encourages you. It pairs scheduled app blocking with daily affirmations — a home-screen widget and rotating affirmation themes like discipline, gratitude, and abundance — so every phone pick-up becomes a moment of intention instead of a relapse.

Is InwardFocus free?

Yes. InwardFocus is currently free on the App Store and requires iOS 18 or later. Premium features are planned as an optional subscription.

Does InwardFocus see which apps I use?

No. InwardFocus is built on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework — app blocking runs on your device and your app selections stay on your iPhone.
