FAQ
Fokus Zone questions
Is Fokus Zone free?
Yes, Fokus Zone is free to download and use. An optional Premium subscription unlocks unlimited restrictions, advanced scheduling options and detailed analytics.
Can an iPhone block apps by location without an extra app?
Not directly. Screen Time's Downtime and App Limits are based on time, and Focus modes can switch on at a location but do not stop you opening apps. Fokus Zone adds location-based blocking on top of Apple's Screen Time framework.
Why does Fokus Zone ask for "Always" location access?
Location-based restrictions have to switch on when you arrive at a place, even when the app is closed. That needs Always permission. Location is used only for geofencing and stays on your device.
Does Fokus Zone collect my data?
No. All data stays on your device and no personal information is collected.
Which iPhones does Fokus Zone support?
Any iPhone running iOS 18 or later.
