Can an app blocker see what you do on your iPhone?
Apps built on Apple's Screen Time frameworks can't read which apps you picked by name, what you do inside them, your messages or your browsing history. Apple gives them opaque tokens instead. FocusPass works this way, keeps its rules and history on your device, and has no account, ads or analytics SDKs. Purchases are validated by Apple and RevenueCat using an anonymous ID.

What Apple lets Screen Time apps see
When you choose apps in Apple's picker, the app blocker receives tokens it can use to apply a shield. iOS can display the app names and icons for you, but the blocker can't read them as data. It also can't see content inside other apps.
What FocusPass keeps, and where
- Your rules: Wallets, Focus Zones and Pass plans.
- Your history: Passes used, Focus Saves and Deep Focus sessions.
- All stored on your device, shared only with FocusPass's own extensions, widgets and Watch app.
What leaves your device
Only purchase validation. If you subscribe to FocusPass Pro, Apple and RevenueCat check the purchase using an anonymous app user ID. There's no FocusPass account or server.
How to remove everything
Settings > Protection > Turn Off All FocusPass Protection removes every shield right away. Deleting the app removes its shields and its on-device data.
Common questions
Can FocusPass see my browsing history?
No. Apple's Screen Time frameworks don't give apps your browsing history, and FocusPass doesn't collect it.
Does FocusPass know which apps I blocked?
Not by name. It stores Apple's opaque tokens so iOS can shield the right apps.
Is my data sold or used for ads?
No. FocusPass has no ads and no analytics SDKs, and there's no account to link data to.
