Bounded Focus uses Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) to block the apps and categories you choose. Blocking runs on your device and is hard to bypass on purpose, it survives force quit, restart and reinstall.
That permission is what lets the app block other apps. We never see which apps you pick, Apple keeps that selection inside your device. You can grant it during onboarding or later from your iPhone Settings.
That is by design, blocks are meant to hold. Open Bounded Focus, stop the active block or wait for the schedule window to end. If you set an unlock delay (friction), give it the few seconds it asks for.
Bounded Pro is billed through your Apple ID. Manage or cancel it any time in iPhone Settings, your name, Subscriptions. To restore a purchase on a new device, open Settings, Manage subscription, Restore purchases in the app.
Open Settings, Delete account. This removes your record from our database immediately. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Write to info@dedaldev.com with your iPhone model and iOS version and we will help you sort it out.
