Changelog

What changed in Bail, newest first. No marketing, just the list.

Status: pre-release, not in the App Store yet
  1. Tested on a real iPhone, and a website

    • The Screen Time lock passed its first device test: with the passcode set, iOS asks for it before Bail's access can be switched off.
    • Found on the same test: "Forgot Passcode?" falls back to your own Apple Account. The setup now tells you to use a friend's Apple Account for Passcode Recovery.
    • New setting: keep automatic time on while locked in, so the clock can't be moved past the end of a session.
    • Honest help pages about what Bail can't stop.
    • usebail.com, with the lock page at usebail.com/lock.
  2. Pardons, the drums, and the name Bail

    • Ending a session early now costs a pardon: 3 a month, each after a 15-minute wait you can cancel.
    • The timer is two rolling number drums, hours and minutes.
    • Hold Lock in for two seconds to skip the confirmation.
    • The whole screen goes dark while you're locked in.
    • The adult-website filter became a setting that stays on whatever mode you're in.
    • The Screen Time passcode setup: a passcode you type but never see, with an encrypted recovery ticket.
  3. First build

    • Modes (block these, or allow only these) and schedules by day.
    • A Live Activity and a home-screen widget showing time left.
