Today we're releasing a feature a major update with several of our most highly requested features. This update includes:

‍

1. Block now

With a simple tap from the home tab, you can start a blocking session immediately.

On-Demand Blocking works just like regular limits, you can choose from “Normal” mode which allows you to unblock for 5 minutes at a time, or go all in with “Monk Mode” so you can't unblock until the session ends.

‍

2. Profile with Trends

We have heard that it would be helpful to quantify your progress over time so you can see how you are trending with phone usage.

Your new Profile highlights:

• How much your average screen time has come down
• How much time you've unlocked with Roots
• Daily, weekly, and monthly usage trends

‍

3. App Groups

App Groups allow you to save selected apps and websites and re-use them for limits, downtime, and on-demand blocking.

This keeps you from having to re-select the apps for each type of blocking you set up.

‍

4. Bug fixes and stability

We fixed a lot of small bugs and made the app more stable. There are still some weird bugs related to the Apple Screen Time API that can cause blocking issues. Please let us know if you have any problems with blocking or unblocking in the latest version of the app!

Let us know what you think, we hope you enjoy!
