Private focus windows for iPhone

Nook Focus

Block distracting apps and websites during scheduled focus time, using Apple-provided Screen Time controls instead of invasive browsing or network inspection.

Built around Apple's privacy boundaries.

Nook Focus stores the focus rules you create on your device and applies them through Apple's Screen Time frameworks during active schedules.

Schedules

Create recurring focus windows and choose when blocking starts and ends.

Blocked Apps

Select apps and categories with Apple's Screen Time picker. Nook Focus stores Apple's opaque tokens, not app usage reports.

Blocked Sites

Add domains you want blocked during focus windows. The app applies the list through Screen Time web-content filtering.

No browsing surveillance.

Nook Focus is a self-regulation tool, not monitoring software. Its blocking design avoids permissions that would expose private browsing or screen contents.

  • No VPN or proxy filtering.
  • No packet capture or network traffic inspection.
  • No browser history scraping.
  • No page content, keystroke, or screenshot collection.
  • No remote monitoring reports.

Release status.

Nook Focus is being prepared for App Store review. App Store builds are designed to use the Screen Time path for scheduled app and website blocking and do not expose Safari extension setup.
