How often do you tap past a limit, and for how long? Nothing is sent anywhere.
Arithmetic, not a promise. The hours-back estimate assumes each skipped visit would have lasted the number of minutes you entered and other visits would take the same time as before. In FocusPass, you choose a duration; the selected app relocks when that Pass ends.
If you keep tapping past your own iPhone Screen Time limits, compare what each method asks you to do at the moment you want an app. Settings and device management affect the controls. This guide includes FocusPass, made by Honest Little Apps.
The question is always the same: what happens at the moment you want the app? Swipe sideways.
FocusPass · screenshot walkthrough
The selected app becomes protected again when its Pass expires. Here is how a ten-minute reply differs from tapping Ignore Limit. The walkthrough uses three real App Store screenshots; it does not operate your phone.
The Home screen shows your available Passes. When you open an app you’ve protected, its shield offers Go Back or Use a Pass. Go Back records a Focus Save, not minutes saved.
View the full Home screenshotThe official Pass screen shows 5, 10 and 20 minutes, with 10 selected. “Reply” is an example reason. You can leave the reason out.
View the full Pass screenshotiOS schedules the relock before access starts, even if you close FocusPass. The last image is Protection Check: it shows whether setup is working. It is not a recording of the moment the Pass expires.
View the full Protection Check screenshotIncluded free: shields for selected apps, timed Passes and automatic relocking. Pro adds more Wallets and Focus Zones, among other options. You can turn off protection on either tier.
9:47 pmThumb on the icon before the thought arrives. The shield comes up: PROTECTED. You chose to protect this app. Two buttons.
9:47 pm, stillGo Back. One Focus Save. The app records the choice and nothing else; it does not guess what you did next, which was make tea.
10:20 pmYou actually need it: a reply to a friend. Use a Pass, 5 minutes, reason: Reply. The relock is already scheduled before the app opens.
10:25 pmLocked again, on its own. You did not have to decide to stop, which was always the hard part.
SundayWeekly Review: most of your Passes happen after 9 pm. The app offers an Evening Zone. You accept. That is the whole method.
Free is useful forever, per the listing: shields, Passes, relocking, one Wallet, one Zone, one Deep Focus a day. More of each is Pro, monthly or yearly.
The listing says Turn Off All Protection stays available without a purchase. A passcode held by someone else can add friction, but account recovery and device management affect what can be changed. Neither arrangement here promises an unremovable lock.
Focus Saves count a choice, not minutes saved. Honest Little Apps has no study showing FocusPass reduces your usage, and the listing invents no minutes.
Built on Screen Time frameworks; blocking happens on the iPhone (the Watch app shows status). If a parent or organisation manages Screen Time, their settings win.
It depends on the settings and who manages them. Check whether a passcode protects changes and whether a parent or organisation manages the device. Apple documents passcode changes and recovery, so a passcode held by someone else is not a guarantee that the device owner can never change the controls.
Per the listing: opening a protected app shows a native shield with two choices, Go Back or Use a Pass. A Pass is a length you pick (the walkthrough shows 5, 10 or 20 minutes) with an optional reason, and the relock is scheduled with iOS before the app opens, so protection resumes when the Pass ends even if FocusPass is closed.
The listing says Turn Off All Protection remains available without a purchase. FocusPass supports deliberate, timed access; it does not promise tamper-proof controls or guarantee that settings and permissions can never change. Parent or organisation restrictions still take priority.
With it. FocusPass uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks and picker; Apple keeps your app selections opaque even to FocusPass. If a parent or organisation manages Screen Time, their settings come first.
Native shields, Go Back and Focus Saves, timed Passes, automatic relocking, one Wallet, one Focus Zone, one Deep Focus session a day, 7-day insights, Momentum and missions. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription for more Wallets, Zones, Free Windows, Task Access, Adaptive Resistance, unlimited Deep Focus and full history.
No account, no ads, no analytics SDKs, per the listing; rules and history stay on the device. Purchases are validated through Apple and RevenueCat with an anonymous ID.
