What can I do on the Progress page?
The Progress page is your long-view dashboard. Where the Home page shows today's screen time at a glance, the Progress page zooms out: how much time you've spent on your monitored apps versus the baseline you reported before using Detox, what that adds up to over time, and what it projects forward. When the page becomes available The Progress page needs at least one full day of your actual usage data to give meaningful numbers, so it stays in a setup / waiting state for the first 24 hours aSome readersWhat's in the Weekly Report?
The Weekly Report is a short story-style recap of how your week went on monitored apps. It shows up once a week and walks you through six pages of stats, comparisons, and a small note from us. It's the most concentrated look at your progress that Detox offers: you don't have to dig through cards on the Progress page to see how the week played out. When you see it A new Weekly Report unlocks every Sunday at 6pm (18:00) local time. Your very first report unlocks on the first Sunday at 6pmSome readersWhat can I do on the Blocks page?
The Blocks page is where you create, edit, and manage every block in Detox. The page is laid out as three cards, one for each block type, plus a small header at the top with two utility buttons. The Blocks page is not where you choose which apps a block covers. You pick that when you set up each block, through a Which apps? step. It is also not where you see your screen time or trends, those live on the Home and Progress tabs.

Detox is built on top of Apple's Screen Time framework, which is the strictest privacy model on iOS for an app like ours. Most of what you'd worry about other apps tracking, we literally can't see. What Detox cannot see Two big things, both worth saying clearly. We can't see which specific apps or websites you've added to your Monitored Apps list. When you pick apps in Apple's Family Activity Picker, iOS gives Detox opaque tokens, not names. We know there are five things on your liFew readersWhat can I do on the Home page?
The Home page is your daily overview. At a glance, it shows the block that's currently active (or about to be), how much screen time you've used today, and what blocks are coming up later. It's also the place where you start a Block Now session, snooze Auto Block, or take a break from an active block. Small touch: the Home page's background shifts color with the time of day, so it looks a little different morning, afternoon, evening, and night.

The Settings page is the configuration and troubleshooting hub. It's where you manage your App Groups (the sets of apps and websites you block), get help when blocks aren't working, manage your subscription, and access account-level options. The page is organized into cards, and how many you see depends on how many groups you've created. The Settings page is not where you create or start blocks (that's the Blocks tab), and it's not where you see your screen time day to day (that's tFew readersWhat's new in recent Detox updates?
To get the latest features, update Detox from the App Store: open the App Store, tap your profile icon, and tap Update next to Detox.

This page lists recent app updates. It is not the same as the release notes shown on the App Store listing, which Apple controls, and it does not cover every small fix.

Detox sends two types of notifications: Reload reminders (so your blocks keep working if you haven't opened the app in a while) and Marketing notifications (occasional feature updates, tips, and offers). Both are opt-in and controlled in Settings → Other settings → Application. These notifications are not the same as block-related notifications (Auto Block pre-warnings, Scheduled Block reminders, and Scheduled Block start alerts). Those are a separate set of toggles.
