Disable Unblocking (With Passcode)

You can use the “Unblock Limit” or “Always Block” strict mode and “Set Editing Passcode” type to prevent editing (or unblocking) unless a passcode is provided. For example, you can type a hard-to-memorize passcode and store it in a safe place, or share it with a friend.

Limit Unblocking To Set Number Of Times Per Day

You can use the “Unblock Limit” strict mode to limit unblocking to set number of times per day.

Create Over 15 Simultaneous Blocking Sessions

Refocus supports multiple, overlapping blocking sessions of different types:

• “Block Now” allows you to block immediately for a specific duration (ex. block apps for 30 minutes to focus on a specific task).

• “Schedule Blocking” allows you to automatically block at specific days and times (ex. block apps from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday). Some schedule ideas:

  • Morning (5:00 AM - 9:00 PM) - to make it easier to get out of bed
  • Work (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday) - to improve focus during work
  • Bedtime (9:00 PM - 4:00 AM) - to help transition into bedtime

• “Set Time Limits” allows you to automatically block once you’ve spent a specified duration on the selected apps (ex. block app after spending 15 minutes on it).

  

Scan To Unblock (NFC Tags)

The Unblock Limit strict mode supports scanning an NFC tag as a requirement before unblocking. In other words, you can use a physical “key” as a way to enforce unblocking. Learn more
