Common questions

The blocked apps aren't locking. First Hour needs Screen Time permission to work. Open Settings → Screen Time and make sure access is granted, then reopen First Hour and re-pick your apps under the Blocks tab. If you turned Screen Time access off, blocking can't run until it's back on.

How do I unlock early? On the shield screen, tap "Unlock early," wait out the short delay, and type the confirmation phrase. This is deliberately a little slow — it's the moment the scroll usually wins. Unlocking early resets your streak.

Calls, Messages, Maps, camera. These are never blocked. Only the apps you personally select are shielded, and only during your protected morning window.

Managing your subscription. First Hour Pro is billed by Apple. To view, change, or cancel, open Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Cancel anytime — your streak history stays readable even if your subscription lapses.

Does First Hour collect my data? No. There's no account and nothing leaves your phone. See our Privacy Policy.
