App blocking is not content filtering.

Hiding changes where an app is visible. By itself, moving an icon away from the Home Screen is not the same as restricting launch. Rawk’s focus behavior combines hiding selected apps with restricting their use.

Restoring access does not promise restoration of your Home Screen layout. iOS may place restored apps in App Library.

App restrictions act on the selected app, not just its icon. Apple provides application blocking and shielding settings; these are distinct platform mechanisms. Rawk relies on Apple authorization and the operating system to enforce its app controls.

Rawk is not impossible to bypass. Emergency reset and individual authorization revocation remain available. See restoring access.

A content filter attempts to limit specific material, such as websites or age-rated content. Rawk’s app selection is not a content-inspection service. Leaving a browser or social app available also leaves its contents outside Rawk’s app blocking.

For a child’s device, review Apple’s parental controls separately. A shared focus routine is not a replacement for age-appropriate content controls or supervision.

• Want fewer distracting apps during a focus session? Review Rawk’s setup and restore flow.
• Want age-rated content restrictions or parent-managed limits? Review Apple’s Screen Time and parental-control options.
• Want to keep maps and messages? Leave those apps unselected, then check your own setup.
