Frequently Asked Questions

SYE uses Apple's Screen Time framework to block and pause apps. Without this permission the app cannot function.

No. SYE works fully offline. Blocking, scheduling, and notifications all operate without internet access.

SYE requires iOS 26 or later for the latest Screen Time APIs and permission handling.

Apple requires a one-time app selection for each preset slot so SYE knows which app to block.

Confirm Screen Time permission is enabled, the selected app is installed, and the block is active in the card.

Yes. Tap the red Cancel button next to the active block and confirm the action.

Block Scheduling creates up to 3 recurring daily schedules that block selected apps automatically between chosen times.

No. SYE prevents overlapping schedules so each minute belongs to only one active block window.

You receive a notification one hour before, five minutes before, and when each schedule begins.

Soft Interruptions shows a pause screen when you open a tracked app, while Quick App Blocks prevents access entirely for the duration.

Make sure the Soft Interruptions toggle is on, at least one app is added, and Screen Time permission is active.

No. SYE limits this feature to 10 apps to keep performance smooth.
