Permission has a purpose.

Focus rules on your device.

Your device applies the boundaries you set. Account services support sign-in, purchases, and supported data sync.

Access you can understand.

Each permission supports a specific part of RAPT, from app blocking to your saved focus zones.

Features you choose.

Location access is for Location Lock. Enable it when you want place-based protection.

Settings you control.

Review permissions in your device settings. Revoking access can affect the protection that depends on it.
