Can I keep using Free without upgrading?+
Yes. Free has no time limit and is separate from a subscription trial. You can keep one app group and one recurring routine, run focus sessions, use Always Allowed and review insights and focus history. No card or Pro subscription is required for those local features.
When does Pro make sense?+
Pro is for several saved contexts: a work group, a study group or different recurring routines. It removes the product cap on saved groups and routines and adds Pause before ending, Locked until end and Emergency access. Pro also includes optional private iCloud sync, Home Screen widgets and a Lock Screen or Dynamic Island timer. The first focus session and core reporting remain part of Free.
What does Pause before ending do?+
If you choose this Pro release mode, ending an active focus session early opens a 15-second wait. After the wait, you decide whether to confirm or return to focus. Nothing ends automatically. Closing the confirmation or leaving the app cancels the wait. A session that reaches its scheduled end has no extra delay. The same confirmation protects other changes that would weaken an active boundary. Confirm to end, with no countdown, is included on Free. This is a pause before ending, not a 15-second break from blocking.
How do Locked and Emergency access work?+
Both are Pro features. Locked keeps the current boundary until its planned end, with no ordinary early ending. During active Locked protection with Pro, open Settings → Protection → Emergency access and continuously hold the release control for five seconds. During a focus session, use its Settings icon to reach Protection. The button fills and the glass butterfly brightens, then breaks after the release succeeds. Letting go early cancels without using a chance. Two confirmed uses are available in any rolling seven days, and each use returns seven days after confirmation. Confirmed cleanup retries and resuming protection do not consume another use. The current focus and Routine protection end; automatic routines stay paused until you explicitly resume. Five seconds is the confirmation hold, not a five-second or five-minute access pass. An already confirmed cleanup or resume remains finishable after Pro expires.
How long does the early-access price apply?+
The monthly offer is $2.99 per month for the first 3 months, then $4.99 per month. The yearly offer is $19.99 for the first year, then $39.99 per year. Eligibility and the exact renewal terms will appear in Apple’s purchase flow before you confirm.
Why is the regular price labeled “planned”?+
Lesscue has not opened public App Store purchases. The regular prices shown here describe the launch plan, rather than a price previously charged to customers. Offer dates and final App Store availability are still to be confirmed.
Are these prices available in every country?+
This page uses US dollars as the reference. Apple will show the actual price in your storefront’s currency, together with any applicable tax and eligible offer. We do not use a fixed dollar-to-won conversion or guarantee the same numerical price in every region.
What happens if I stop Pro?+
You keep the Free experience. Current protection is not ended just because Pro expires. Extra saved groups and routines are retained for review, and you choose the connected group and routine to keep using on Free. iCloud sync pauses when Pro ends; local records remain available and cloud deletion does not require an active subscription. Widgets show a Pro card and Live Activities end; your active focus session continues inside Lesscue. Account deletion, local reset, iCloud deletion and subscription cancellation are separate actions.
Does Pro change how my data is handled?+
Both plans start with on-device storage. Pro-only iCloud sync requires a separate opt-in: selected records are stored in your private Apple iCloud database only after you connect. App-selection tokens, raw Screen Time usage and live blocking state stay on the device. Widgets and Live Activities use a small on-device summary; no remote push service is required. Cloudflare sign-in stores authentication metadata only and does not receive personal records. Apple’s device backup is separate and is not restricted to Pro. Read the Privacy Policy.
How will I manage or cancel a subscription?+
When purchases are available, use your Apple Account’s subscription settings to manage renewal or cancel. Removing the app, deleting your Lesscue account or resetting local records does not cancel a subscription. Subscription and restoration help.
