Start a session

Pick a focus label, choose a duration and begin a protected block of time.

2

Choose distractions

Select the apps or categories that pull your attention away during focus time.

3

Track progress

Review focus minutes, completed sessions, emergency unlocks, streaks and recent history.

Focus Vault turns Apple’s Screen Time controls into a clean session-based focus experience.

Block selected apps and categories during focus sessions using Apple’s Screen Time system.

When a blocked app is opened, Focus Vault shows a calm shield screen that reminds you to stay focused.

Sleep

Emergency Unlock

Pause, choose a reason and make ending early intentional instead of automatic.

Pause

Firm, not harsh

Emergency unlock adds friction.

Focus Vault does not trap users. It creates a pause before ending a session early, helping you notice when you are opening a distraction by habit.

Reason tracking Know why sessions ended early.
Optional countdown Add a short pause before unlocking.
Progress history Completed sessions and emergency unlocks are saved separately.
