Software tools like Screen Time help, but the “key” to unlock distractions is always within reach.

With a physical device, the key is removed. When it’s not near you, the temptation disappears—and focus returns.

Your purchase includes the Ground device and full access to the app. No subscriptions. No hidden fees.

One purchase. Yours forever.

Yes — there’s no limit to how many phones can pair with a single Ground.

And if you choose to own multiple Grounds—for your home, car, or workspace—one phone connects to all seamlessly.

Ground is currently supported for iPhones running iOS 16.2 or later.

Ground allows any iPhone app to be blocked—except Phone, in accordance with Apple’s emergency access policy.

You can also block select websites in Safari, using Apple’s pre-approved list. At this time, specific site blocking isn’t supported on non-Safari browsers.

Ground lets you create up to five custom blocking modes—perfect for work, family, sleep, the gym, or anything else that helps you focus on what matters most.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you. That’s why Ground includes five Emergency Grounds in the app, instantly restoring access to all apps.

If needed, you can always delete the app to remove restrictions entirely.

Nope — all blocking data stays securely on your iPhone. Nothing is stored or shared elsewhere.
