Make it stick.
A website can't block apps on its own. These native settings turn your profiles into real, hard-to-undo locks.
- 1
Hand the passcode to your partner
Settings → Screen Time → Lock Screen Time Settings. Let your accountability partner type the 4‑digit code so you never know it.
- 2
Create App Limits per profile
Screen Time → App Limits → Add Limit. Pick the same apps as your Deep Work profile and set 1 minute. Turn on 'Block at End of Limit'.
- 3
Use Focus modes for Sleep and Study
Settings → Focus → New Focus. Allow only Phone, Messages and Maps. Schedule Sleep nightly.
- 4
Always Allowed list
Screen Time → Always Allowed. Keep Phone, Messages and Maps here so emergencies are never blocked.
- 5
Close the loopholes
Content & Privacy Restrictions → disallow Deleting Apps, Account Changes and Passcode Changes. Turn on 'Share Across Devices'.
