How does QuizScreen block apps?

QuizScreen uses Apple's official Screen Time API to block apps. In the App Management section, you use Apple's Screen Time picker to select which apps or categories to shield. When you try to open a blocked app, iOS displays a custom QuizScreen shield message prompting you to complete a quiz.

Is QuizScreen good for students?

Yes, QuizScreen is designed with students in mind. It helps you stay focused during study sessions by blocking distracting apps like social media and games. Better yet, you can set up quiz topics that match your coursework—so unlocking distractions actually reinforces what you're studying.

How is QuizScreen different from normal Screen Time limits?

Standard iOS Screen Time simply blocks apps after a time limit. QuizScreen adds an educational unlock mechanism—you must answer quiz questions correctly to unlock blocked apps. This turns every distraction attempt into a learning opportunity while still giving you control over your screen time.

Does QuizScreen unlock apps instantly after I finish a quiz?

Yes. Once you complete a quiz by answering each question correctly, QuizScreen immediately removes that app from your blocked list. There's no waiting period—you get instant access to the app for your chosen unlock duration.

What happens after the unlock timer ends?

When your chosen unlock duration expires (1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 30 min, 1 hour, or 1 day), QuizScreen automatically re-blocks the app. If you selected 'Forever' as your unlock duration, the app stays unblocked until you manually block it again.

Does QuizScreen work with Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube?

Yes, QuizScreen can block any app available through Apple's Screen Time picker, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, Snapchat, games, and more. You select which apps to block in the App Management section.

Are the quiz questions AI-generated?

Yes, QuizScreen generates quiz questions using AI via OpenRouter when AI generation is enabled. If AI is turned off or unavailable, the app falls back to sample questions. You can manage which quiz topics are active in the Quiz Management section.

Can I customize quiz topics in QuizScreen?

Absolutely. QuizScreen's Quiz Management section lets you save multiple quiz topics and toggle which ones are 'active.' When you start an unlock quiz, the app randomly selects one of your active topics to generate questions from.

Do I need an account to use QuizScreen?

QuizScreen integrates with Firebase for certain features. Account requirements may vary based on which features you use. The app is designed to work primarily on-device with your quiz progress stored locally.

Is there a free mode in QuizScreen?

QuizScreen offers a subscription for full access to all features. The app is free to download, and availability of free features may vary. Check the app's subscription screen for current pricing and feature details.

How does the QuizScreen subscription work?

QuizScreen uses a subscription model managed through RevenueCat and Apple's in-app purchase system. The subscription unlocks full access to all features. You can view subscription options and pricing directly within the app.

Does QuizScreen track my learning progress?

Yes, QuizScreen includes a Streaks section that tracks quizzes completed, questions answered, daily streaks, achievements, and your complete session history. This gamification helps motivate consistent focus habits.
