questions.
Do I need a focus key?
No. Manual sessions and schedules work without one. A compatible writable NFC sticker adds an optional physical way to end a session.
What can StopDooming pause?
Individual apps and websites you choose in Apple's Screen Time picker. Website coverage depends on Screen Time support and your browser. Work, Study and Sleep can each have their own selections.
Can I end a session early?
Yes. Scan a paired focus key in the app, confirm Force out to end immediately, or start a cancellable 15-minute recovery countdown. You remain in control.
Can I schedule sessions?
Yes. Choose weekdays and a time window, including overnight schedules. iOS can delay Screen Time callbacks, so exact start and end times are not guaranteed.
Is the app available yet?
Not on the App Store yet. Device testing and release approvals are in progress. We'll add the verified download link here when it launches.
