How do I start blocking?

Open the app, tap Continue and approve Screen Time access in Apple's permission sheet. Then tap "Choose apps & sites" and pick apps, categories or websites in Apple's picker. Blocking starts right away, and Safari's adult-content filter turns on with it.

Can I keep an app working?

Yes. On Home, open App exceptions and choose the apps that should keep working inside a blocked category.

How do pauses work?

On Home, tap Pause blocking and choose 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Blocking is scheduled to resume when the pause ends, and you can tap "Resume blocking now" to end it sooner. iOS may delay the resume while your phone is idle.

Where is my activity history?

The Activity tab lists when blocking and pauses started and stopped. It stays on your iPhone and records event types and times only, never websites, app names or browsing history. You can turn on a weekly recap from Activity to get a short summary each Sunday evening.

How do I stop blocking?

On Home, open Manage blocking and tap Stop blocking. Open Book asks you to wait 30 seconds first, and you can choose a short pause instead. During a Strict mode lock, it won't stop until the lock ends. You can also turn off Screen Time access for Open Book in iPhone Settings at any time.

How do I restore or cancel a subscription?

If you have a subscription, for Strict mode or from an earlier version, open Settings > Account & subscription in the app and tap Restore purchases to restore it on this iPhone, or Manage subscription to change it. To cancel, open iPhone Settings > your name > Subscriptions, or visit apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Apple handles refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com.

How do I delete my account?

Open Settings > Account & subscription in the app and tap Delete account. This permanently removes your account and its server records. See our privacy page for details.
