Sharing pickups is gone. The number iOS shows you is still on the Circles screen — it's yours to look at, and nothing about it reaches anyone else. Reporting it meant picking up your phone to say you'd picked up your phone, which never quite made sense. Your own row in a circle now updates the moment you say something, instead of waiting for iCloud to echo it back. Two fixes you won't see. A schedule set to "outside these hours, at most one open" was starting its count again at midnight, so an overnight limit of one was handing out two. And a schedule that switches blocking on while your main switch is off no longer flickers — the app and its background check were disagreeing about which one won.

About
NoStim blocks the parts of your apps that pull you back, and keeps the parts that are about people. THE PORTAL — the feature nothing else on iOS has. Open Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or Twitch as their real websites with the addictive surfaces stripped out: no Reels, no endless feed, no Shorts — you choose what's hidden, per platform. Log in once, stay logged in. Your DMs still work. The posts your friends share still open. REAL BLOCKING — Apple's own Screen Time shields on the native apps you choose, with budgets that mean something: opens per day, minutes per open, opening odds if you want the dice to decide, locked hours, and a waiting room that offers you doors instead of a lecture. A RATCHET, NOT A CAGE — making NoStim stricter is instant; making it looser waits out a delay you chose in advance. Lock your settings for a weekend, a week, or with no end date at all — and if you want out early, the price is one you set for yourself when you were thinking clearly. KIND WHERE IT COUNTS — Comfort Mode for chronic-illness bad days, with no guilt copy and no interrogation. Driving Mode that's never held by any lock. Vacation mode you book a day ahead. Streaks that measure commitment, not abstinence: using your whole budget is a day held. TOGETHER — an optional circle of a few people who care, sharing only your streak and your stumbles, person to person through your own iCloud. A partner lock where someone you trust holds the key. Partner mode is free forever. THE BLOCKER IS FREE, FOREVER. No ads, no account, no analytics. NoStim Pro adds Circles and your full history — nothing that blocks is ever behind the paywall.
