Does Haven actually block apps, or just show a warning?
It actually blocks them. Haven uses Apple’s Screen Time framework (the same one parents use), so apps, categories, and websites are fully shielded. To get back in, you start a guided unblock from Haven and move through the stretch flow first.
Why stretching? Why not just a timer?
A tap is too cheap. A body-first pause — breath, a short movement, a real beat — interrupts the reflex that hands like “just open it” even when you don’t want to. Most of the time you’ll realize you didn’t need the phone. When you do, Haven is still there.
Can Haven see my browsing or app usage?
No. Haven doesn’t read what you do inside apps. Apple’s APIs only expose what’s needed to enforce the rules you set, and your blocker settings stay on this device and iCloud. No Haven account, no sign-in.
What happens before I subscribe?
You can finish onboarding and save your first blocker setup. Enforcement, guided unblocks, emergency unlocks, schedules, Rooted history, the premium app icon and widget, and Extreme Mode require an active trial, subscription, or lifetime purchase.
What’s Extreme Mode?
Extreme Mode turns off guided and emergency unlocks everywhere, including the shield — for when cold turkey is the point. It survives reinstall on the same device, and weakening a setting requires a 24-hour cool-off.
How do I cancel?
Cancel in your iPhone’s Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions at least 24 hours before renewal. Your premium features stay active until the end of your billing period. No hoops, no retention screens.
