Focus & Digital Wellbeing

Use your phone with intention, not habit.

Intened blocks distracting apps until you set a clear purpose and time limit. A mindful pause between impulse and action.

How it works

Three steps to reclaim your attention.

01
📋
Choose your apps

Select the apps you want to bring more mindfulness to — social media, video platforms, games. Intened will quietly guard them in the background.

02
✍️
Set your intention

When you try to open a guarded app, Intened pauses you for a moment. Write why you're opening it and how long you actually need. A small act with big impact.

03
⏱️
Use your time, then return

The app opens for exactly the time you requested. When your time is up, Intened gently closes access — no willpower required. Your phone, working for you.

Features

Built for real people, not perfect ones.

OS-level app blocking

On iOS, we use Apple's Screen Time API — the same technology used by parental controls. Blocking is enforced at the operating system level, not by a fragile overlay.

Friction, not prohibition

We're not trying to stop you from using apps. We're adding a moment of deliberate choice. You can always proceed — we just ask that you're honest with yourself first.

Session journaling

Every intention you set is logged privately on your device. Over time, you'll see patterns in your habits — and in your growth.

iOS & Android

Native blocking on both platforms — Screen Time API on iOS, Usage Stats and overlay protection on Android.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Overview

Intened ("the App," "we," "our") is a digital wellbeing application for iOS and Android. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with your use of the App.

Apple Screen Time API usage

On iOS, the App uses Apple's Family Controls framework, which requires the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement.

We use this entitlement exclusively to apply and remove application shields via ManagedSettingsStore. We do not access, read, or transmit Screen Time reports, usage data, or any Family Sharing information. All Screen Time interactions occur locally on your device.

Local storage

The App stores the following data locally on your device, encrypted by the operating system:

  • Your list of protected app selections (as opaque system tokens)
  • Your session intention notes (stored only in local app storage)
  • App preferences and settings

This data never leaves your device. It can be deleted at any time by removing the App.

Server-Side Data

Currently, the App does not transmit or store any user information on external servers. In the future, optional features may allow users to create an account and store data (such as intention notes or usage summaries) on secure servers. These features will be strictly opt-in, and users will be clearly informed before any data is collected or transmitted.

Third-party services

Intened does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or social login services. There are no SDKs in the App that transmit data to external parties.

Children's privacy

The App does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Since we collect no data from any user, this applies equally to all age groups.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page and notify users via an in-app notice on the next launch.

Contact

For any privacy-related questions or requests, please contact us at the email address listed in the Contact section of this page. We will respond within 5 business days.
