FAQ

Focus Mode — Common Questions

What happens if my child tries to open a blocked app during Focus Mode?
They see a friendly "Focus Mode is active" screen showing how long until free time, and cannot access the blocked app.
Can I create different Focus Mode schedules for each child?
Yes. Each child profile has its own independent Focus Mode schedule with its own approved app list.
Does Focus Mode block the internet completely?
No — educational websites remain accessible. Focus Mode blocks by category and app, not the entire internet. You can configure it to block specific categories or specific apps.
Can I activate Focus Mode remotely in an emergency?
Yes. Tap the Focus button on your child's profile card in the parent app to activate it instantly from anywhere.
