Everything Kazeway does

What it shows you, the rules it runs, and the friction that keeps them on.

Friction

Friction is the feature

Decisions that make a commitment hold once you have made it.

No stopping on impulse

The way out of a running rule is Stop, behind a 5-second breathing gate. A running rule can't be edited or deleted, and Siri has no command to end one.

Breaks are a budget

You decide in advance how many breaks a rule allows each day, and how long each one lasts. When a break ends, the block returns on its own. Near the end of a block, you can end it early instead, using one break. Spend them carefully.

Turning on a strict rule in Kazeway: it says when the rule ends, that it has no breaks and no Stop, and where the emergency pass is.
Strict PRO

Strict, for when you mean it

A setting on any rule except Open Limit. While a strict rule is blocking, there is no way round it on impulse.

No breaks, no Stop

Until the rule ends, it can't be interrupted by a break or Stopped behind the gate.

The phone holds the line too

While it blocks, apps can't be deleted — Kazeway included — and the date and time can't be set by hand.

One emergency pass a week

For the day something comes up that you couldn't plan for: one pass ends every strict rule at once. It's in Settings, behind the breathing gate, and comes back a week later.

Creating a rule in Kazeway: choosing its type.
Rules

Creative ways to block

Block the apps you choose, or allow only the few you need. Build as many rules as you like; Allow Lists are part of Kazeway Pro. When you set Kazeway up, it asks about your nights, your mornings, your focus hours and the apps that take your time, then suggests rules to match. You can change them later.

Immediate Starts the moment you start it and runs for as long as you choose, until the end of the day, or until you stop it.
Scheduled Runs itself on the days and hours you choose. Set it once and let it do its thing. You don't need to babysit it.
Time Limit A daily allowance. Use it up and a blocking shield keeps you out of those apps for the rest of the day.
Open Limit Blocked all day on the days you choose, with a few short opens: say five opens of ten minutes a day.
Allow List PRO The inverse: everything is blocked except the few apps you need, Immediately or on a Schedule. You can also choose to block all. The apps on your Always Allowed list, like maps or your bank, stay open under every one.
The Trends tab in Kazeway Insights: screen time, bedtime, morning and three kinds of apps, each marked improving, steady or slipping.
Trends

Improving or slipping, at a glance

Insights also shows whether your habits are changing, and what drives them.

Screen timeYour daily total, marked improving, steady or slipping against the period before.
BedtimeScreen time between the bedtime and wake time you set in Habits.
MorningScreen time in the first two hours after you wake.
Social, entertainment, gamingTime in each kind of app.
PatternsWhen you use your phone most, which apps you open first, and whether notifications pull you back.
RulesHow long each rule kept apps blocked, and the breaks you took.
Siri

Hands free, one way

Siri can activate a rule and tell you which ones are running. Getting out is still on you — Siri won't help you quit on impulse.

Activate a rule

“Hey Siri, activate a rule in Kazeway.” Name it, confirm, and the rule is on — no tapping through the app.

Ask what is running

“Hey Siri, what’s blocking in Kazeway?” A straight answer on which rules are active and how long is left.

Won't stop a rule

There is deliberately no voice command to end a rule. A shortcut that could undo your commitment is not convenience — it is cheating and a step too easy to quit on impulse.

Privacy

Built to ask for as little as possible

Here is exactly what stays on your phone, and what does not.

  • Your Screen Time data stays on your device. Apple's Family Controls framework is built so the app that displays it cannot send it anywhere. We never see it.
  • No ad tracking. Kazeway uses no advertising SDKs and does not track you across other apps or websites. We don't sell your data.
  • iCloud backup keeps your setup. Each device backs up its own rules and settings to your private iCloud container, so they come back if you reinstall the app. That's Apple's storage, not ours — we can't read it. You can turn it off in Settings.
  • Purchases go through Apple and RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives an identifier for your subscription, your App Store receipt, and basic technical details like device model and country. Signed in to iCloud, that identifier is one Apple creates for your Apple Account and this app, which is what lets Pro follow you to your other devices and survive a reinstall. Otherwise it's a random identifier for that installation.

The full detail is in the privacy policy.
