The practical details people usually want to know first.
FAQ →What does Zone block?
Zone can restrict selected apps and websites while a focus session is active. Apple’s Screen Time frameworks apply the restrictions on the device.
Can Zone see which apps or websites I select?
No. Apple provides Zone with opaque selections, so the app can apply your choices without learning which specific apps or websites you picked.
Can I end a focus session early?
Normal sessions can be ended early. Strict Mode is designed to make that choice harder, so use it only when you are comfortable committing to the selected duration.
Does Zone require an account?
No. You can use Zone without creating an account.
