We keep your Screen Time passcode. You keep your word.
Clarity sets a Screen Time passcode you're not meant to remember. Turning off your blocker means asking for it back, and waiting 24 hours. Long enough for the urge to pass.
Most blockers give temptation an exit.
- Ignore Limit
- One More Minute
- Are you sure? End session
- Enter the passcode you set
- Turn the limit off
Locked until 8:00 AM.
Emergency Exit is the only way out.
Clarity changes the architecture.
In a Strict window, Clarity has no snooze and no end-early button.
You already decided.
Clarity protects the decision.
You choose what to block and when, while thinking clearly. A Strict window holds that choice until the time you set.
How Clarity works: decide, lock, wait
Decide
Choose what you want protected, and when.
Lock
Clarity sets the boundary while you are thinking clearly. Once a Strict window starts, you can't shorten it, end it or remove what it blocks.
Wait
Later, if you want back in, the boundary does not just disappear. It opens when the window ends.
Strict window
It’s 11:47 PM.
You blocked Instagram until 8:00 AM.

What are you trying to get back?
What Clarity gives back
- A Saturday morning that stays a Saturday morning.
- Being where your feet are.
- Reading ten pages without opening something else.
- Going to bed when you said you would.
- Finishing what you sat down to do.
Not less screen time. More of these.

Questions
The v1 launch is the web app plus iPhone. iPhone preview distribution is labeled honestly while the App Store listing is completed. Windows, Mac, Chrome extension, Android, and other surfaces are not part of the current public launch promise.
How is this different from Screen Time or a normal blocker?
Built-in controls and ordinary blockers help, but they are often easy to postpone or disable when you're tired, bored, or on autopilot. Clarity OS is built around windows for commitment, coordinates those windows across supported devices, and shows honest status when protection cannot be verified.
What happens if I try to bypass it?
Clarity is designed to make casual bypass harder, not to claim it is impossible. Depending on the device and permissions, you may need passcodes, reinstall steps, or other friction. If protection is removed or cannot be verified, status should reflect that instead of quietly staying green.
What do “Protected,” “Last confirmed,” and “Needs Attention” mean?
Protected means Clarity has reason to treat enforcement as verified for that context. Last confirmed protected means Clarity recently saw verified protection but is not claiming a live Protected state. Protection Needs Attention means something requires your help before you should trust the boundary.
Which devices are supported?
Publicly presented surfaces today: Web, iPhone (TestFlight). Windows, Mac, Chrome extension, and Android are not part of the v1 public promise. iPhone is currently a TestFlight preview while the App Store listing is completed.
Does the app need to stay open?
No for ordinary iPhone use after setup. Protection is meant to continue with the iPhone's allowed background mechanisms. You still need the app installed, permissions granted, and the phone able to sync when online.
What permissions are required?
Selected-app and selected-website blocking uses Apple's Screen Time permission. Adult filter is optional and separately installs a DNS configuration for adult-site coverage and SafeSearch.
What happens when a window ends?
When the window ends, Clarity stops enforcing that window's category. Other still-active windows can continue. Your repeating windows and categories stay saved for the next window.
Can I end one early?
Flexible windows can end anytime, with no cooling-off wait. Strict windows are designed so you stay until time is up. Ending one window does not clear other active windows.
What does it cost?
$59.99/year, billed annually. That is the only plan — there is no monthly option and no permanently free tier. Apple shows the price for your country on the purchase screen before you buy.
How does the free trial work?
The trial is Apple's, and it starts when you subscribe in the iPhone app — not when you create an account. You get 7 days free at that point, and Apple does not charge you until they end. The trial runs at full protection strength — it is not a weakened version. Cancel before it ends and you are not charged. Apple shows the exact offer and terms for your country on the purchase screen.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Account deletion is available in the Clarity OS app settings, and is also described in the Terms of Service.
What happens if a device goes offline?
Already-applied local protection can continue on that device depending on the platform path. Cross-device status becomes more cautious when Clarity cannot confirm enforcement—honest “last confirmed” or Needs Attention labeling beats a false Protected claim.
