A little help to get going.

1. Allow Screen Time access when TezBlock asks.
2. Create a profile and select the apps, categories, and websites you want to block.
3. Choose a blocking strategy, then hold the start button to begin.

Manual blocking works without an account or physical tag. See Tips & Best Practices for more setup ideas.

• Confirm that TezBlock still has Screen Time permission.
• Open the profile and confirm the intended apps or categories are selected.
• End the session, fully reopen TezBlock, and start it again.
• Restart the iPhone if iOS still does not apply the shields.

If the problem continues, contact us with your iOS version, iPhone model, and the name of the strategy you selected.

Open TezBlock → Settings → Reset Blocking State. This clears leftover restrictions and ghost schedules when TezBlock shows no active session.

If an active NFC, QR, timer, or Strict Mode session is visible, finish it using the stop method selected for that profile instead.

The stop method depends on the profile’s strategy. Manual sessions use the in-app hold-to-stop control. Timers end automatically. Physical profiles may require the assigned NFC tag or QR code, particularly when Strict Mode or physical unlock is enabled.

• Use an iPhone with NFC capability and make sure the phone is unlocked.
• Hold the top edge of the iPhone close to the tag for one or two seconds.
• Move the tag away from metal surfaces and thick or magnetic cases.
• Try another NTAG213-compatible tag to rule out a damaged tag.

The tag must support NDEF writing and must not be permanently locked or read-only. Hold the phone steady near the tag until the iOS NFC sheet confirms completion. If writing still fails, try a fresh NTAG213 tag away from metal.

Make sure camera access is enabled for TezBlock in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera. Use an evenly lit, high-contrast code, clean the camera lens, and move the phone slightly farther away so the entire code fits inside the scanner.

Yes. A profile can have multiple physical unlock items, including NFC tags and QR codes. This is useful when you want a valid tag at your desk, bedside, and another intentional location.

1. Confirm the App Store is signed in with the Apple Account that made the purchase.
2. Check your internet connection.
3. Open the TezBlock Pro screen and choose restore purchases.
4. Close and reopen TezBlock after the restore finishes.

No. TezBlock Pro is a one-time $9.99 purchase with lifetime access, so there is nothing to cancel and no renewal charge.

Yes. Previous paying TezBlock subscribers keep permanent Pro access. Open the TezBlock Pro screen and choose restore purchases if your access is not showing. A free-trial-only transaction does not qualify for permanent legacy access.

Because Apple processes the purchase, refund requests are handled through Apple. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, and select the TezBlock purchase.

Yes. Open TezBlock → Settings → Support and tap Donate. It is a one-time $1.99 tip and does not unlock Pro features.

No. Core blocking and local tracking work without signing in. Sign in only if you want Friends and synced focus-session history.
