Privacy Policy
In short: Focused collects no data. Your Screen Time data is handled by Apple’s Screen Time framework and is only shown to you on your device. We have no accounts, no servers, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Nothing you do in the app is sent to us or to anyone else.
This policy explains how Focused: Control Your Time (“Focused”, “the app”, “we”), bundle ID
com.techdev.focused, handles information on iPhone and iPad. The Android app has
its own policy.
1.What the app uses, and where it stays
| Information | Why | Where it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Screen Time data through Apple’s Screen Time API (time spent in apps, categories and websites, pickups, notifications) | To show your screen time, trends, focus score, streaks and limit progress | Processed by Apple on your device and shown only inside the app’s report screens. The app cannot copy, store or send it |
| The apps, categories and websites you choose in Apple’s picker | To apply your limits, schedules and focus sessions | On your device, as Apple-issued tokens that don’t reveal to us which apps they stand for |
| Website addresses you type into a rule | To block those websites | On your device |
| Your rules, focus sessions, presets, programs, goals, intentions you tap on the block screen, and settings | To run the features you set up | On your device (the app’s private storage) |
| Safari Lite mode, if you turn it on in Safari settings | Hides short-video feeds and the posts that match your keywords on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and X (the only websites it runs on) | Runs inside Safari on your device; keeps no browsing history and sends nothing |
| Purchases (Focused Pro) | To unlock Pro features | Handled by Apple. We receive no payment details |
We do not collect your name, e-mail address, phone number, contacts, location, photos, messages, browsing history or any identifier, and we cannot see which apps you use.
2.Permissions
- Screen Time access (Apple’s Family Controls, for yourself): needed to show your screen time and to block the apps you choose. You approve it with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings → Screen Time or by deleting the app.
- Notifications (optional): limit warnings, focus timer and schedule reminders. They are created on your device.
- Face ID / Touch ID (optional App lock): iOS checks your face or fingerprint; the app only learns whether the check succeeded.
3.Exports, backups and sharing
- You can export your own app data (focus history, programs, intentions) as a file using the iOS share sheet. You choose where it goes. Apple’s Screen Time data can’t be exported.
- Your app data may be included in your own iCloud or computer backups of the device, which Apple and you control.
- Share buttons in the app share only a link to the app or text such as “Day 7 of 21 done”, never your usage data.
4.Third-party services
None. The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking software. If you choose to share crash reports with developers in iOS settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports.
6.Children
Focused is a self-control app for the person using the device. It is not a parental-control app. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
7.Keeping and deleting data
Everything stays on your device. Delete the app to remove all its data. Turning off Screen Time access in Settings stops the app from reading Screen Time data and removes its blocks.
8.Security
Your data stays in the app’s private storage protected by iOS, and the app does not send it over the internet.
9.Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. The current version and its effective date are always on this page and in the app (Me → Privacy policy).
