Setting up

Why does Undistract need Screen Time access?

Blocking apps on iOS is only possible through Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework, and Apple requires your explicit permission. Undistract uses that access for exactly one thing: blocking what you chose, when you chose. Nothing is read, recorded, or sent anywhere.

How do I stop my kid deleting Undistract?
  1. Open Settings and go to Screen Time.
  2. Turn on a Screen Time passcode (one your kid doesn't know).
  3. Open Content & Privacy Restrictions, then iTunes & App Store Purchases.
  4. Set Deleting Apps to Don't Allow.

With that in place, removing Undistract or loosening Screen Time needs your passcode.

Which apps can it block?

Any app installed on the device, picked through Apple's own picker. Undistract also blocks the matching websites for popular apps (YouTube, Roblox, TikTok, Reddit, X, and more) so Safari is not a loophole.

Blocking

How does the daily Limit work?

Pick an amount of time per day. Once the combined use of your blocked apps crosses it, everything blocks for the rest of the day and resets at midnight. iOS counts the time and enforces the block even when Undistract is closed. The count can lag by a couple of minutes; that is normal iOS behavior.

A blocked app or site still opened. Why?

Schedule and Limit boundaries can fire a few minutes late; iOS batches them. Website blocking is strongest in Safari. For other browsers like Chrome, block the browser app itself under Apps. If something stays wrong past a few minutes, open Undistract once (it re-checks on launch) and tell us if it persists.

What does the blocked screen say?

"Blocked by Undistract. This app is unavailable right now." No fake crashes, no tricks. Kids learn to trust what the screen says, and so should you.

Purchase and privacy

Is there a subscription?

No. Undistract is a one-time purchase. Everything is included, forever, on every device signed into your Apple Account (use Restore purchase).

How do refunds work?

Purchases go through Apple, so refunds do too: reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find Undistract, request a refund. Apple decides refunds for all apps; we never see your payment details.

What data does Undistract collect?

None. No account, no analytics, no server. Every setting stays on the device. The full policy is one page: privacy.
