Three ways to make space
A quieter phone.
On your terms.
Start Lockdown Pro
Need to focus now? Immediately block the selections in all your enabled rules, without waiting for their scheduled start.
How Lockdown worksKeep the essentials Pro
Choose the apps that stay available. Essentials Mode blocks the rest. Start it when you need it, or let a schedule take care of it.
Meet Essentials Mode
Scheduled blocking
Set it once.
Let it repeat.
Work hours, study sessions, or a bedtime cutoff. Give distracting apps and websites a place in your day, then let Downtime handle the boundary.
- Create a rule. Choose its days and time ranges.
- Choose what to block. Select apps, categories, and websites with Apple’s Screen Time picker.
- Let it run. Blocking works even when Downtime is closed.
Start with one rule for free. Pro adds multiple rules for different parts of your day.
Essentials Mode Pro
Keep what you need.
Quiet the rest.
Keep messages, maps, and the apps you choose available. Essentials Mode blocks other apps so your phone can stay useful without pulling you back in.
Start it manually or schedule it for evenings, work, or weekends. Scheduled Essentials Mode takes priority over regular rules; those rules resume afterward.

Protect your rules and pause settings from impulsive changes. Switching Strict Mode off starts a one-hour waiting period.
